[Verse 1]
Oh, well, you could be in love
And never know it
You could be in love
And swear it's not true

[Pre-Chorus]
Your heart's got a secret, it's been keeping from you
A special delivery message from your heart to you

[Chorus]
After she's gone
You come to understanding
After she's gone
You have to face the truth
'Cause you held her love
And let it slip right through your fingers
After she's gone
After she's gone

[Verse 2]
You say you don't need her
You just like playing those games
You like to tease her
You'd only have yourself to blame
[Pre-Chorus]
Your heart's got a secret, it's been keeping from you
A special delivery message from your heart to you

[Chorus]
After she's gone
You come to understanding
After she's gone
You have to face the truth
'Cause you held her love
And let it slip right through your fingers
After she's gone
After she's gone

[Chorus]
(After she's gone)
You come to understanding
(After she's gone)
You have to face the truth
'Cause you held her love
And let it slip right through your fingers
After she's gone, you're all alone
After she's gone
After she's gone
