After All Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hopelessly awaitin' on myself
I hold the key to answers that I want
And I came all this way, why would I turn back now?
I've come to see the weakness of my heart

[Verse 2]
I'm carryin' the weight upon my back
And I'll no longer follow in those steps
I've been hit, I've been sworn
I've been chasin' somethin' more
I've grown kinda worried about this

[Chorus]
I guess I'm movin' forward down the coast of California
Where the folks like the waters not that cold
I guess there's nothin' for us
Since this world keeps movin' forward
And everyone's a little more likе you
When all that I've been through
And it holds as it holds you, I've been thеre
When all that I've been through
When you come to know the weakness of your heart

[Verse 3]
I knew a thing or two about myself
Left me with nothin' to do, no place to run
And everything that happend, how could it be undone?
Tryin' hard just to escape what I've become
[Verse 4]
Think of me when daylight turns to black
Another time, another's turnin' back
I've been gentle, I've been forceful
I've been holdin' somethin' more, so
I've been fearful of just what I've become

[Chorus]
I guess I'm movin' forward down the coast of California
Where the folks like the waters not that cold
I guess there's nothin' for us
Since this world keeps movin' forward
Where everyone's a little lost like you
And all that I've been through
And it holds as it holds you, I've been there
When all that I've been through
I've come to know the secrets of the heart
And I've come to know the secrets of the heart

[Chorus]
I guess I'm movin' forward down the coast of California
Where the folks like the waters not that cold
I guess there's nothin' for us
'Less this world keeps movin' forward
And everyone's a little more like you
After all that I've been through
It holds as it holds you, I've been there
When all that I've been through
When you come to know the secret of your heart
