Life After You
Kingsley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shaking I can't take no more
I've been moving just a little show
Healing isn't ebb and flow
Praying for my soul to keep
Thinking of you when I sleep
I've been faking it for far too long
Wishing I could be strong
Damn you left a hole inside of me
I was moving up and on
But I'm right where you left me
Life after, life after you
It's a little strange
But I'll get use to it
Life after, life after you
It's a little lonely, no, no, no
But I make the most of it
Life after, life after you
Hurting now I'm feeling numb
Thinking boy what have you done
I've been fighting just to stay afloat
Autopilots all that I know
You can't change these memories
Damn you left a hole inside of me
I was moving up and on
But I'm right where you left me
Life after, life after you
Ba di ba ba
No, no, no
Oh, woah
Never get use to
It's a little strange
But I'll get use to it
Life after, life after you
It's a little lonely, no, no
But I make the most of it
Life after, life after you
Ba di ba, ba di ba ba
Oh
Never get use to
Life after, life after you
Mhhh, no, no, n
Life after, life after you

The singer of the song is depicted as being in a state of despair and pain, crying and shaking on the bedroom floor. They have been trying to move on, but healing isn't an easy process, and they feel like they've been faking it for too long. The song talks about how memories of the person they lost keep coming back, and how they're stuck right where they were left.
The chorus of the song, "Life after, life after you, it's a little strange, but I'll get used to it", represents the idea that life continues even after losing someone, and that it might take time to adapt to the change. The singer is aware that there's no going back to how things used to be with this person, and that they have to accept the new reality and try to make the most of it. The song ends with the phrase "never get used to life after you" repeating, suggesting that the pain of losing someone may never fully go away.
Overall, the song conveys a relatable message about the challenges of moving on after a breakup or losing someone you were close to. It captures the conflicting emotions of sadness, pain, and acceptance that often accompany such events.
