| One time, when I was young
|
| Met somebody that I called the one
|
| Just a big shot and a name
|
| Seemed like it was all fair game.
|
| Turned back, what’s worse
|
| Half went running, the other got hurt
|
| Oh, what a vision, what a blur
|
| Let’s talk about a dream deferred.
|
| Energy invested
|
| It ain’t hard to know
|
| Maybe if it was hard to see
|
| With all the lights so low.
|
| Broken retrospective
|
| A part of love still lives
|
| Trying to forget when there’s so much to forgive!
|
| Chorus:
|
| After all this time (after all this time)
|
| I believe that I
|
| I still care, still care!
|
| After all this time (after all this time)
|
| I believe that I
|
| I still care, still care!
|
| We always said one day
|
| We gonna laugh when we’re old and gray
|
| We gonna tell 'em how we met
|
| How we got through it all instead.
|
| (You're too) Too scared to go on
|
| Just running everything that wasn’t wrong
|
| What a story, what a song, I waited too long, yeah!
|
| For all the pretty roses, planted in the ground
|
| fade away without a touch, they don’t make one sound
|
| This is what I’m given, taken day by my past
|
| Trying to put myself first, when I’m stuck on my last
|
| Chorus:
|
| After all this time (after all this time)
|
| I believe that I
|
| I still care, still care!
|
| After all this time (after all this time)
|
| I believe that I
|
| I still care, still care!
|
| I guess I’m too nice and I look for the good that ain’t there, oh, oh
|
| I’m mad at myself and ain’t no reason why I should still care
|
| There ain’t no reason, there ain’t no reason, oh, oh, oh!
|
| There ain’t no reason, no, no, no
|
| No reason why I should care, none at all, none at all!
|
| Chorus:
|
| After all this time (after all this time)
|
| I believe that
|
| I still care, still care!
|
| After all this time (after all this time)
|
| I believe that I
|
| I still care, still care! |
