[Verse 1]
Leave it to me
I just can't make it easy
I open and they walk in
They're nothing like you
Oh, but the damage they'll do
Is gonna rip me a new one instead

[Pre-Chorus]
And nobody warned me it'd hurt so bad
Loving again when I thought you had me
Moving on and starting anew

[Chorus]
Love after you
Is like a kick in the chest from the inside
Laughing then crying all night
Guess you get what you ask for, oh
Love after you
Is a weight that I can't get away from
A melody I can't hum to
Asking something I can't choose
Did I ever really lovе you?

[Verse 2]
I was so sure, it'd feel like beforе
A livable, laugh it off ache
Something I can live with
But I'm tossing and turning
I'm hurting and yearning
What did I do to deserve this?
[Pre-Chorus]
Nobody warned me it'd hurt so bad
Loving again when I thought you had me
Moving on and starting anew

[Chorus]
Love after you
Is like a kick in the chest from the inside
Laughing then crying all night
Guess you get what you ask for, oh
Love after you
Is a weight that I can't get away from
A melody I can't hum to
Asking something I can't choose

[Bridge]
Your love was something I could live without before
If love was even what we had
I didn't know what I was asking for
If this is love please take it back

[Chorus]
Love after you
A miracle that's dying out
Every stupid poem you would write about
Is laughing in my hands
Love after you (My love is sick)
A wound I don't wanna waste (It leaks, it bleeds)
Praying I don't make the same mistakes (All over me)
But I already have (Onto you)
[Chorus]
Love after you
Is like a kick in the chest from the inside
Laughing then crying all night
Guess you get what you ask for, oh
Love after you
Is a weight that I can't get away from
A melody I can't hum to
Asking something I can't choose
Did I ever really love you?
