After All

I stumble to the mirror Say everything's all right But the man in the mirror Never lies The aged face I see Staring back at me Shows the years Shows the miles Now I'm no perfect husband But I do so love my wife And my kids are the greatest gift I know But some times when I'm alone I still wrestle with my soul And start feeling out of place Like a lost boy Trying to get back home Chorus: After all The heartache and the pain All the bridges I have crossed And the ones I've left in flames After all The sorrow and regret All the times I turned away When you called You still love me After all The story of my life I keep hidden deep inside Like a book collecting dust Upon a shelf But it's there inside of me That man that no one sees The one that falls apart But I'm strong enough To never let it show Chorus Now I don't pretend to know Why the truth has been so slow To go the distance From my head down to my heart I know the journey's not that great But for all the time it takes I'd swear that we were worlds apart Chorus
