After All

I never walked alone through the gates of unknown I hear the shadows are gone, night has ended after all I know it cannot be the way I was hoping for The winter has gone, and this world is still my home Many years ago, you came through the storm I didn't need any words, 'cause I knew it all along All the words I've said, I never meant them to hurt I didn't have any reason to have a second thought I couldn't bear anymore of those stupid lies There is always something new for me to sacrifice And I walk alone I never listen to the words I was told to occur Those stories I've been holding in too long Just keep on going, that's life after all On this forbidden path that leads to the unknown There are many of you who help me getting out of the storm All those decisions I've made, you won't understand I had to look away when you took me by the hand I couldn't bear anymore of those stupid lies Had enough of being your source of lies There is always something new for me to sacrifice And I walk alone I never listen to the words I was told to occur Those stories I've been holding in too long Just keep on going, that's life after all And I walk alone I never listen to the words I was told to occur Those stories I've been holding in And I walk alone I never listen to the words I was told to occur Those stories I've been holding in too long And I walk alone I never walked alone through the gate of unknown The winter has gone, and this world is still my home
