For a while, to love was all
we could do
We were young and new and your eyes
were alive
Deep inside we knew our love was true
For a while we paid no mind to the past
We knew love would last
Every night, something right
would invite us to begin the dance
Something happened along the way
What used to be happy was sad
Oh, something happened along the way
Yesterday was all that we had
Oh, after the love was gone
How could you lead me on
But not let me stay around
Oh, after the love is gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that was lost be found
For a while to love each other was all
we would ever need
Love was strong for so long
We never knew that what was wrong
wasn't right
We tried to find what we'd had
But sadness was all that we shared
We were scared our affair would tear
our love in two
Something happened along the way
What used to be happy is sad
Oh, something happened along the way
Yesterday was all that we had
Oh, after the love was gone
How could you lead me on
But not let me stay around
Oh, after the love is gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that was lost be found
(Oh, oh, oh, oh‐oh…)

Oh, after the love is gone
How could you lead me on
But not let me stay around
Oh, after the love is gone
What used to be right is wrong
Can love that was lost still be found
After the love is gone
Ooh, how could you lead me on
And not let me stay around
