After All This Time

After all, the broken stones
That were thrown, for no good reason
Inside, she's loving him still
After all this time
And though her heart bears the scars
No sign of healing, it's alright
She's loving him still, after all this time

Oh yeah

Trying to push the past away
Still waiting for the lights to change
But she'll try, try for the sake of their pride, pride
Learning to barely feel the pain
The thicker the skin the less the strain
And though it's really hurting
She ain't breaking, breaking, breaking
'Cause she's loving him still, after all this time

Now he knows his weakness shows
Selfish soul, never changing
That's fine, because she's loving him still
After all this time

And to the outside eye
You see a family getting by
And it all seems perfect, and that's how she wants it
'Cause she's loving him still, after all this time

Trying to push the past away
Still waiting for the lights to change
But she'll try, try for the sake of their pride, pride
Learning to barely feel the pain
The thicker the skin the less the strain
And though it's really hurting
She ain't breaking, breaking, breaking
'Cause she's loving him still, after all this time

After all this time
After all, after all, after all this time

Bones have to grow, and age it shows
Though we try and hide it
Inside, she's loving him still
After all this time

And behind his tired eyes, she sees the boy with his arms wide
Who made her feel like an angel
Oh that's why she's loving him still
For the rest of her life, she's loving him still
For the last so many miles
She's loving him still
After all this time
