After Awhile

You pretend you don't see you say just let things be
And perhaps she'll come back to stay
You tell friends you still care that is just as she's there
That you love her so much more each day

But after awhile the pain stops hurting after awhile the heart cries no more
After awhile the tears stop their falling things get better after awhile
[ piano ]
When she left you said go from to him then you'll know
Who really has more love to give
You told her she'd come home but it's weeks she's still gone
And you wonder how long you can live
But after awhile...
Things get better after awhile
