No matter how hard I try, 
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through, 
There's no talking to you

It's so sad that you're leaving, 
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done, 
You're gonna be the lonely one

Chorus:
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough

Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough

What am I supposed to do, 
Sit around and wait for you
Well I can't do that, 
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on, 
I need a love to feel strong
'Cause I've got time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you

Chorus:
Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough

Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough

Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore, I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore, no I don't need you anymore

Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough

Do you believe in life after love
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough
