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 all right
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

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'll 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

Ohh, that's why
She's loving him still
For the rest of her life
She's loving him still
For the last of many miles
She's loving him still
After all this time
