Ten miles from town And I just broke down Spitting out smoke on the side of the road I'm out here alone Just trying to get home To tell you I was wrong, but you already know Believe me, I won't stop at nothing to see you So I've started running All that I'm after is a life full of laughter As long as I'm laughing with you And I think that all that still matters is love ever after After the life we've been through 'Cause I know there's no life after you Last time we talked The night that I walked Burns like an iron in the back Of my mind I must have been high To say you and I weren't meant to be And just wasting my time Oh why did I ever doubt you You know I would die here without you All that I'm after is a life full of laughter As long as I'm laughing with you And I think that all that still matters is love ever after After the life we've been through 'Cause I know there's no life after you You and I, right or wrong There's no other one After this time spent alone It's hard to believe That a man with sight could be so blind Thinking about the better times Must've been out of my mind So I'm running back to tell you All that I'm after is a life full of laughter Without you God knows what I'd do All that I'm after is a life full of laughter As long as I'm laughing with you And I think that all that still matters is love ever after After the life we've been through I know there's no life after you No there's no life after you No there's no life after you No there's no life after you No there's no life after you No there's no life after you No there's no life after you ya
