Jay Allen – After You Lyrics

Verse 1
Before you,
I was a soul lost at sea.
Before you,
There was an empty hole inside of me.
But you came to the rescue,
Filled the dark with light.
It don’t matter who I was
Before I met you.
Let’s leave it all behind.

Chorus
We’ve been through
Too many fights,
And too many breakups.
Too many times
We made up and made love.
Too many kisses on your lips
For me to leave,
And too many memories.

We’ve lost our hope
Walked through the fire.
Now we know,
We can make it to the other side.
Baby, after all that we’ve been through.
There’s no after you.

Verse 2
Without you
I’m just a shadow of myself.
Without you
I wouldn’t have a story left to tell.
Cuz I couldn’t live and die
For anybody else.

Chorus
We’ve been through
Too many fights,
And too many breakups.
Too many times
We made up and made love.
Too many kisses on your lips
For me to leave,
And too many memories.

We’ve lost our hope
Walked through the fire.
Now we know,
We can make it to the other side.
Baby, after all that we’ve been through.
There’s no after you.

Bridge
Oh after you came to the rescue
Filled the dark with light.
It don’t matter who I was
Before I met you.
Leave it all behind.

Chorus
We’ve been through
Too many fights,
And too many breakups.
Too many times
We made up and made love.
Too many kisses on your lips
For me to leave,
And too many memories.

We’ve lost our hope
Walked through the fire.
Now we know,
We can make it to the other side.
Baby, after all that we’ve been through.
Yeah, I’ll come back to you.
Cuz there’s no after you.
After you.
After you.


Song Meaning & Review

I fell in love with the accompaniment music, the voice of the singer, the lyrics, and how it was sung. I love how the artist went through those memories, the fact that he’d remember details, and thought of all the countless times they’ve made up and made love, thought of all the things they’ve been through together, goes to show just how much the love of his life meant to him, and how much their relationship mean.

The fact that he’d go so far as to say that he’s just a shadow of himself without his love. And that he wouldn’t have another story to tell without the love of his life.

It’s romantic, sweet and full of love and longing. He really said, “No matter how many times we fall apart, I will always come back to you.”, and I think that that is one of the most beautiful thing ever to realize when you’re in love with someone.

That you know that no matter how many times you fight, not understand each other, there will always be a reason to come back and stay. “I’ll always come back to you.”

As if to say, “I can’t imagine my future, my life, without you in it.”. Personally, now I have a new song to let my partner hear.

We fight, sometimes we’d even get to the verge of breaking up, but I’d always hold on, and he’d always find a reason to stay.

Not because we’re feeling bad for all the time we’ve spent together, but because we love each other sincerely and we were literally whole different people before we’ve met each other. We’ve changed a lot ever since we started dating. Here’s another song he and I can relate to.
