The Lover After Me (Album Version)

The Lover After Me - Savage Garden (野人花園)

Here I go again' I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today

It's been seven months and counting

You've moved on

I still feel exactly the same

It's just that everywhere I go all the buildings know your name

Like photographs and memories of love

Steel and granite reminders

The city calls your name and I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone

The lights go out the same

The only difference is

You call another name

To your love

To your lover now

To your love

The lover after me

Am I all alone in the universe

There's no love on these streets

I have given mine away to a world that didn't want it anyway

So this is my new freedom

It's funny I don't remember being chained

But nothing seems to make sense anymore

Without you I'm always twenty minutes late

Ever since you've been gone

The lights go out the same

The only difference is

You call another name

To your love

To your lover now

To your love

The lover after me

And as time goes by so slowly

The nights are cold and lonely

I shouldn't be holding on

But I'm still holding on for you

Here I go again' I promised myself I wouldn't think of you today

But I'm standing at your doorway

I'm calling out your name because I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone

The lights go out the same

The only difference is

You call another name

To your love

To your lover now

To your love

The lover after me
