" 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
