You were the toast of the town
And I was the one that you chose
You took me the long way around
But that's what it takes, I suppose

A fool can get lost in a dream
Desire always covers the wrong
Nothing is as bad as it seems
'Cause I've learned to live with you gone

I'm living proof, there's life after you
After all I've been through
I'm living proof, there's life after you

Yes, a fool can get lost in a dream
Desire always covers the wrong
But nothing is as bad as it seems
'Cause I've learned to live with you gone

I'm living proof, there's life after you
After all I've been through
I'm living proof, there's life after you

After all I've been through
I'm living proof, there's life after you
