After Love
Diddy Lyrics

I just don't know if love is supposed to be like this
Uncertainty about whether love should be this painful or complicated.

And I don't even know if its something I even want no more
Doubt if love is even worth pursuing anymore.

I'm used to moving out, feeling kinda stuck these days Because of you
Feeling trapped and unable to move on due to the lingering effects of the failed relationship.

And I'd be on the highway, if only I could leave my place Because of you
Wishing he could escape and leave the past behind but is unable to do so because of the pain and memories associated with it.

I used to be a talker but I ain't got nothing good to say Because of you
Feeling emotionally drained and silenced because of the hurt caused by the failed relationship.

And I been trying to hide but it's written all over my face So I
Struggling to conceal the pain and heartache that the relationship has caused.

I really thought you were the one, the only one I guess that I was wrong
Mistakenly believed that the person was the love of his life, but the relationship failed to live up to his expectations.

And you turned out you wasn't it If everything I thought so
Realizing that the ex-partner was not the perfect match he thought they were.

But what do you do after love? After love
Expressing uncertainty about what life will be like post-breakup and how to move on.

What can you say when it's said and done Nothing at all
Feeling like there is nothing that can be said or done to change the outcome of the relationship.

Cause you can't hide a heart break Wen you can't stop these tears from falling down So what do you do? what do you do? what you do?
Acknowledging that he cannot conceal the emotional pain that the relationship has caused and is unsure of how to handle it.

After love
Referencing the aftermath of a failed relationship.

After love, it hurts so bad
Communicating the emotional pain that still lingers after the relationship ended.

Yeah, uh uh, I remember that first day that I saw her face
Reflecting on the initial attraction to the ex-partner and how it all began.

The feeling I had sorta felt like my birthday
Describing the intense joy that he experienced when he first met the ex-partner, comparing it to his special day.

Beautiful I must say She was my earthquake Cute face, nice shape, she made my earth shake
Complimenting the ex-partner, describing her beauty and the way she impacted his life.

I'm a try an keep the faith, do it like the church say
Holding onto hope and faith, similar to how one might approach religion.

She the one for me and I don't care what him or her say
Believing that the ex-partner is the perfect match, disregarding any outside opinions.

Thought I had a home run But I'm just at first base I found out the long run Just another heart break So how much can my heart take
Believing the relationship was initially successful, but in reality, it was only the start. Unable to handle another failed relationship and heartbreak.

You was like air to me You know I wouldn't leave, I needed you to breath See life is but a dream, so is love and I believe If you ever been in love you would know what I mean yeah
Acknowledging the essential role the ex-partner played in his life, emphasizing the importance of love in life and believing that others who have experienced it would understand.

So lord help me please I wanna see the light She keep telling me I'm wrong but I know I'm right But trying to ignore cause I don't wanna fight I know I make mistakes But still I need her in my life
Asking for guidance and support to move forward but having difficulty accepting that the relationship is over. Despite mistakes, still feels attached to the ex-partner.

Tell me how I'm supposed to heal this open wound Because of you
Expressing hurt from the failed relationship that he is unable to move past.

And tell me who woulda thought that id ever be trying to get over you I'm stuck in the moment, of memories of me and you And I can get over it, but I ain't sure if I want to
Reflecting on how difficult it is to move on from the memories and emotions of the relationship, not sure if he can fully let go.

'Cause you dun made your bed, now you gotta lie in it You gotta lie in it babe Now all the things you said don't mean a thing Don't mean a thing to me now
Blaming the ex-partner for their actions and consequences, realizing that everything promised means nothing now.

I can't believe I gave you one, last, shot I let it ride now baby it's your stop Oh so so leave Now the jokes on me
Describing the last chance given to the ex-partner, that ultimately failed. Feeling used and tricked.

It took a while to finally come to my senses But what What do you do, what do you do after love? oh
Realizing the relationship is over, but still unsure about how to move on.

When its over, oh 'Cause you can't hide a heart break When you can't stop these tears from falling down (I can't stop these tears) So what do you do? what do you do?
Emphasizing the impact of a heartbreak, how easily it can be exposed and the difficulty in dealing with it.

This is what you made me do Pay attention She know who I'm talking to, and I know you listening

You know I love you more then anything though That's one thing you can't run from I just wanna end the conversation in a good way, man Aight Love you very much Love you too Have a good night
Reassuring ex-partner of love, admitting the end of the conversation but still wishing them well and expressing affection.
