If I was in the rooms
Of the broken down home
When my mother struggled to raise me
And the rest of the family
Well, I would feel this way
Even on my brightest day
If I heard that my teacher
Was corrupted and taking pay
Looking after the rich kids
Then I'd feel this way
Where do you start when you are scared of each new tomorrow
What comes after goodbye
Love can not just defy
What comes after goodbye
How can you live what know you deep inside is a lie
With the stenght that God gave me
I won't break down or fall
There's no map for the future now
But anyhow
I guess I always knew that after all
And our frailties so hidden
Leaves us daring to try in vain
We must not complain
How can you build in a place that is filled with sorrow
What comes after goodbye
Tears cannot
Your reply
What comes after goodbye
What comes after goodbye
How can you live what know you deep inside is a lie
And so we disguard
Or we hoped for so long
But will we do with our lives?
What comes after goodbye
One last sad lullaby
Where do you start when you are scared of each new tomorrow
Scared of each new tomorrow
What comes after goodbye
Words cannot justify
What comes after goodbye
What comes after goodbye
No rules left to apply
What comes after goodbye
How can you live what know you deep inside is a lie
What comes after goodbye
