After The Love Has Gone Lyrics

There you go transferring responsibility

About a man whose love was true

Though your expectations were a fantasy

Perfection was still expected from you

Yet here among those who know you well

You always focused on what was wrong

An' in the still of the night what do you tell yourself

After the love has gone so tell me

After the love has gone (after the love has gone)

What have you got left to build your world upon

When will you finally see (when will you finally see)

The person in the mirror bears the ultimate responsibility

After the love has gone

Years ago as friends we would have let it slide

You always seemed to live for the day

Experience provided you with insights

Yet still you chose to ignore them anyway

So now that the smoke has cleared

Does your head still rule your heart this far along

And how do you justify it all

After the love has gone so tell me

After the love has gone (after the love has gone)

What have you got left to build your world upon

When will you finally see (when will you finally see)

The person in the mirror bears the ultimate responsibility

You owe it to yourself to finally make it right

And open up your heart to find some appreciation

To have someone to bare your soul to day and night

Is all part of love's great gift and our heart's destination

So now that the smoke has cleared

Does your head still rule your heart this far along

And how do you justify it all after the love has gone tell me

After the love has gone (after the love has gone)

What have you got left to build your world upon

When will you finally see (when will you finally see)

The person in the mirror bears the ultimate responsibility (ooh)

Oh oh after the love has gone (ooh)

After the love has gone (ooh)

Oh oh after the love has gone (ooh)

After the love has gone
