She used to think that she was ahead of her time
Kept it bottled inside with her pain by her bedside
Waiting for a chance to romance with somebody in her league
Every fella that ever tried to tell her she's Cinderella
They find out she's walking on glass
And she's like: Please! I don't mean no harm boy
I'm just dealing with a broken past
And right now a pauper is a feasible offer
So I’ll have some of that open flask
Oh, maybe it won't be easy after all
Maybe I'll just have to fake a smile after all
It may be a lonely evening after all
Singing after all
Hey, after all
Singing after all
Hey, after all
He used to think he was headed to the top
And it was only just a matter of time till he makes it
To the big stage, drum bass, orchestra lead, and a baby grand
He wanted nothing more than to go on tour
Like his mother did in 94'
So, he's teaching himself on how to play on the piano
That they had since he was born
And all the while he sees all the problems that can come with blowing up
And wonders what he's still fighting for
Oh, maybe it won't be easy after all
And maybe I'll just have to wait a while after all
And maybe I won't keep dreaming after all
Singing after all
Hey, after all
Singing after all
Hey, after all
C'mon
Maybe it won't be easy after all
Maybe I'll just have to fake a smile after all
Maybe it won't be easy after all
Singing after all
Hey, after all
Singing after all
Hey, after all
