Description

This was inspired by the Savage Garden song Lover After Me. I wanted it to look like a photo rather than a manipulation.

Credits: :iconashensorrow: :iconpoorsouls-stock: I've had the graffiti brushes on my computer for forever, and there's no tag brush with the name. Please let me know if you recognize them, and I'll give credit!

Savage Garden, Lover After Me

Here I go again; I promised myself
I wouldn't think of you today
It's been seven months and counting
You've moved on
I still feel exactly the same
It's just that everywhere I go
All the buildings know your name like
Photographs and memories of love
Steel and granite reminders
The city calls your name, and I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

Am I all alone in the universe?
There's no love on these streets
I have given mine away to a world
That didn't want it anyway
So this is my new freedom
It's funny, but I don't remember being chained
But nothing seems to make sense anymore
Without you, I'm always twenty minutes late

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me

And time goes by so slowly
The nights are cold and lonely
I shouldn't be holding on
But I'm still holding on for you

Here I go again; I promised myself
I wouldn't think of you today
But I'm standing at your doorway
I'm calling out your name 'cause I can't move on

Ever since you've been gone
The lights go out the same
The only difference is
You call another name
To your love
To your lover now
To your love
The lover after me
