Life After You
Daughtry Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I just broke down
Spitting out smoke on the side of the road
I'm out here alone
Just trying to get home
To tell you I was wrong, but you already know
Believe me, I won't stop at nothing to see you
So I've started running
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
And I think that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you
Last time we talked
The night that I walked
Burns like an iron in the back
Of my mind
I must have been high
To say you and I weren't meant to be
And just wasting my time
Oh why did I ever doubt you
You know I would die here without you
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
And I think that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
'Cause I know there's no life after you
You and I, right or wrong
There's no other one
After this time spent alone
It's hard to believe
That a man with sight could be so blind
Thinking about the better times
Must've been out of my mind
So I'm running back to tell you
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
Without you God knows what I'd do
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
As long as I'm laughing with you
And I think that all that still matters is love ever after
After the life we've been through
I know there's no life after you
No there's no life after you
No there's no life after you
No there's no life after you
No there's no life after you
No there's no life after you
No there's no life after you ya
The lyrics of the song "Life After You" by Daughtry describe the feelings of a man who is desperate to get back to his partner after realizing that he made a grave mistake by doubting their love. The song begins with the man's car breaking down ten miles away from town. He feels utterly alone and is struggling to get back to his partner so that he can apologize for his mistake. The man is destroying himself as he keeps obsessing over thoughts about how much he needs his partner in his life. He is running towards his partner and won't stop at anything to see them.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the importance of love and laughter in life. The man realizes that he wants a life full of happiness and laughter but he knows that he can only achieve it if he has his partner by his side. He admits to having made a mistake and regrets treating his partner poorly. However, he is determined to make things right and cherishes the thought of spending his life with his partner.
The song's bridge is a reflection of the man's realization that he had been blind not to see how much he needs his partner in his life. He acknowledges his foolishness for doubting their love and recalls good memories with his partner, which leads to his eventual resolve to go back to them.
The song's overall theme of realizing the importance of love and cherishing one's partner is relatable to many. It's a powerful message that reminds us of how easy it is to take our loved ones for granted.

Ten miles from town
I am physically far away from home
And I just broke down
My car has broken down
Spitting out smoke on the side of the road
My car is producing smoke on the roadside
I'm out here alone
I am by myself in this situation
Just trying to get home
I want to go home
To tell you I was wrong, but you already know
I want to apologize to you for my mistake, but you are already aware of it
Believe me, I won't stop at nothing to see you
I am determined to meet you by any means
So I've started running
I am running towards you
All that I'm after is a life full of laughter
I want a happy life
As long as I'm laughing with you
I want to share that happiness with you
And I think that all that still matters is love ever after
I believe that love is the most important thing in the long-term
After the life we've been through
Considering what we have been through together
'Cause I know there's no life after you
I don't want to live without you
Last time we talked
During our previous conversation
The night that I walked
When I left in anger
Burns like an iron in the back of my mind
It's a painful memory that I can't forget
I must have been high
I must have been delusional and irrational
To say you and I weren't meant to be
To believe that we were not destined to be together
And just wasting my time
And that being with you was a waste of my time
Oh why did I ever doubt you
I regret ever doubting you
You know I would die here without you
You know that I cannot live without you
You and I, right or wrong
We are in this together, whether we are right or wrong
There's no other one
There is no other person I want to be with
After this time spent alone
After all the time I spent in isolation
It's hard to believe
It's difficult to accept
That a man with sight could be so blind
That I failed to see the truth even when it was in front of me
Thinking about the better times
Remembering the good times we shared
Must've been out of my mind
I must have been crazy to let you go
So I'm running back to tell you
That's why I'm running back to you
Without you God knows what I'd do
I can't imagine my life without you
No there's no life after you
I don't want to live without you
No there's no life after you
I can't imagine my life without you
No there's no life after you
There is no life without you
No there's no life after you
I cannot live without you
No there's no life after you
You are my life
No there's no life after you ya
There is no life without you

2:23 you donโt understand how hard it is to have this perfect pitch and tone, with that degree of control and power within that range. That is really high level stuff. This guy truly does not get the respect he deserves for his talent. That is extremely rare talent.
@filiplaskovski9993
And 3:19 that is some serious pitch control ๐ฑ๐คฏ
@sharonellul7751
I agree totally heโs the most amazing singer. To show that you only have to see him on the Masked Singer. I couldnโt believe how he did Maneater & Someone You Loved - itโs better than the original !
@jochaiarreglo6558
Daugthry seriously has a very powerful vocal range.
@bhaskarbarman9813
Very true
@PikaQPika
Yes I do, I tried it and sound like a dying donkey
@KontaNaa95
You know the band is good when singer sounds better live, Daughtry is a legend!!
@Revoknight99
Heisenberg Hell yeah. It's sad he is kind off not in the mainstream anymore
@brucecarriere4891
You do know he has effects on his voice donโt you..
@uznahammond6840
Heisenberg agreed 110%
