You pretend you don't see you say just let things be And perhaps she'll come back to stay You tell friends you still care that is just as she's there That you love her so much more each day
But after awhile the pain stops hurting after awhile the heart cries no more After awhile the tears stop their falling things get better after awhile [ piano ] When she left you said go from to him then you'll know Who really has more love to give You told her she'd come home but it's weeks she's still gone And you wonder how long you can live But after awhile... Things get better after awhile
