I don't know if I can explain it
'cause there's really nothin' different at all.
The sun still burns,
the earth still turns
and the winter still follows the fall.
I knew that it wouldn't be easy
for my heart to find somebody new
but I never thought it still would be
broken in two these years after you.

The tell me time is a natural healer
it kind of smooths the pain away.
But this hurtin' within hasn't yet given in
and it's been over two thousand days.
I still remember the taste of your kisses
and your eyes that were beautifully blue
and I can still hear the sound of your voice
when you said we were through
these years after you.

(Chorus)
Years after, years after you
I'm still cryin'
Tears after, years after you
I'm still tryin' to make it through
these years after you.

There've been mornin's when I couldn't wake up
There've been evenin's when I couldn't sleep
My life would be fine for months at a time
then I'll break down and cry for a week.
'Cause when I told you I'd love you forever
I know you didn't think it was true
but forever is nothin' compared to some
nights I've been through
in these years after you.

(Chorus)
Years after, years after you
I'm still cryin'
Tears after, years after you
I'm still tryin' to make it through
these years after you.

Years after, years after you
I'm still cryin'
Tears after, years after you
I'm still tryin' to make it through
these years after you.

Years after, years after you
I'm still cryin'
Tears after, years after you
I'm still tryin' to make it through
these years after you.
