" After All the Hurt is Gone "

" After All the Hurt Is Gone "

(Lyrics By Gerald Logan)

( Verse 1 )

I gave you my heart, I gave you my years

Now I’m drowning in silence, I’m drowning in tears

This house is a graveyard of the life that we knew

Every room tells the story of me losing you

( Pre-Chorus )

And the nights feel colder than the day you walked away

I’m begging for mercy, but the pain just stays

( Chorus )

After all the hurt is gone

I’ll rise from the ashes, I’ll carry on

Though the scars will remind me where I came from

I will be over you once all the hurt is gone

Yeah, I’ll be over you once all the hurt is gone

( Verse 2 )

I still hear your footsteps on these broken floors

But it’s just my memory knocking on closed doors

The whiskey don’t help and the songs cut too deep

When I lie in this bed where you used to sleep

( Pre-Chorus )

And the truth cuts sharper than a thousand knives

You can’t kill the love, but you can bury the life

( Chorus )

After all the hurt is gone

I’ll rise from the ashes, I’ll carry on

Though the scars will remind me where I came from

I will be over you once all the hurt is gone

( Bridge )

Someday I’ll find the strength to let go

But tonight I’m still bleeding, tonight I still know

That the hardest goodbyes leave the deepest songs

And I’ll sing this one till the hurt is gone

( Final Chorus )

After all the hurt is gone

I’ll stand in the light of a brand-new dawn

I’ll break these chains, I’ll be moving on

I will be over you once all the hurt is gone

( Outro )

Yes, I’ll be over you…

After all the hurt is gone
