After All

I stumble to the mirror
 Say everything's all right
 But the man in the mirror
 Never lies
 The aged face I see
 Staring back at me
 Shows the years
 Shows the miles
 Now I'm no perfect husband
 But I do so love my wife
 And my kids are the greatest gift
 I know
 But some times when I'm alone
 I still wrestle with my soul
 And start feeling out of place
 Like a lost boy
 Trying to get back home
 Chorus:
 After all
 The heartache and the pain
 All the bridges I have crossed
 And the ones I've left in flames
 After all
 The sorrow and regret
 All the times I turned away
 When you called
 You still love me
 After all
 The story of my life
 I keep hidden deep inside
 Like a book collecting dust
 Upon a shelf
 But it's there inside of me
 That man that no one sees
 The one that falls apart
 But I'm strong enough
 To never let it show
 Chorus
 Now I don't pretend to know
 Why the truth has been so slow
 To go the distance
 From my head down to my heart
 I know the journey's not that great
 But for all the time it takes
 I'd swear that we were worlds apart
 Chorus
