Maybe After He's Gone Lyrics

She told me she loved me
With words as soft as morning rain
But the light that fell upon me
Turned to shadow when he came...

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

I remember joy and pain
Her smile, her tears are part of me
I feel I'll never breathe again
I feel life's gone from me...

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

All the days
And all the nights
Are time just passing by
And all the dreams I'm dreaming now
Hide the tears that I cry...

I feel so cold
I'm on my own
As the night folds in around me
Night surrounds me
I'm alone...

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
After he's gone
She'll come back, love me again

The Way I Feel Inside

She told me she loved me
With words as soft as morning rain
But the light that fell upon me
Turned to shadow when he came...

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

I remember joy and pain
Her smile, her tears are part of me
I feel I'll never breathe again
I feel life's gone from me...

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

All the days
And all the nights
Are time just passing by
And all the dreams I'm dreaming now
Hide the tears that I cry...

I feel so cold
I'm on my own
As the night folds in around me
Night surrounds me
I'm alone...

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, want me again

Maybe after he's gone
She'll come back, love me again
After he's gone
She'll come back, love me again

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think it's a guy clinging on to a love that's lost (ex-girlfriend). The she has moved on with another man, and this guy still loves her. "Maybe after he's gone, she'll come back, love me again." He can't let her go.

THE OPENING LYRICS OF THIS SONG ARE SO EFFECTIVE...THE STRONG SENSATION OF BEEING LOVED AND JUST AFTER THE CERTAINTY THAT DENY THAT FEELING.

Perhaps the saddest song i've heard in a while.

This is a song about desperation and the idea that even though you're second best, it's still okay to strive for the girl who doesn't like you anymore. This person thinks he is worthless without his honey.
