After All
Pink Turns Blue Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cannot hide my tearful eyes
Cannot stand you start to cry
No chance to change my mind
A thousand voices in my head

Nothing I could understand
How could a boy feel so alone
Now I play my favourite song
It does not change I feel alone

How I tried to reach your lonely heart
Still I stay here in this place
Although I know I lost my race
Will never be with you again

I see you walking down the street
Can't you see how much I bleed
After all it was
You and me
Cannot stand we're loosing time
Without a love that means a crime
After all it was
You and me

Who has left me with those tears
Heavy weight of words to bear
I always knew its telling lies
Is there anything I could do




I really lost my love to you
No excuses offered anyway

Overall Meaning

The song opens with the singer confessing their inability to hide their tearful eyes in the presence of their former lover. Despite the pain that their breakup has caused, the singer cannot change their mind and a thousand voices taunt them in their head. The second verse reveals that the singer feels confused and alone, unable to comprehend how a young boy can feel so isolated. Turning to music for comfort, the singer states that their favorite song still fails to quell the loneliness.


In the chorus, the singer reveals that they can see their ex-lover walking down the street, causing them to bleed internally.

In the final verse, the singer muses on who left them with the tears they shed—was it the former lover or was the singer at fault? Regardless, the singer has lost their love, despite their attempts to save the relationship.
