Roses 101 - After All

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
