After All This Time

Talk about love, talk about living
Talk about trying to be forgiving
Now, I don’t see it
Do as I say, not as I do
I never thought that was me and you
But that’s how I’ve been treated
We start out tender and so young
Looking back now I see all the damage done
And after all this time, after all this time
After all this time after all
How to love? How to live?
The bittersweet gift we give
Where we got it
From my father, from your mother
How we hurt one another
Now, got to stop it
It’s not like you’re the only one to blame
Throw words like little knives
Treat love like it’s a game
Baby, we both know how to tell a lie
Do you think that just once before we die
We could tell the truth after all this time?
