  • She gave her heart to a falling star
    When news filtered through of his tragedy
    All the walls went up
    Around the world, she declines
    As the tears from her eyes fall
    No one understands and no one will
    All she has lost

    If he's not here, then where?
    If he's not here, then where?
    If he's not here, then where?
    If he's not here, then where?

    When she found it there in the cold, blue glare
    The words distressed and unfamiliar
    Where the feelings seared
    An emptiness had hung
    And in her chest, she clenched
    Reality settled as the memories raced
    While on the screen, he lived

    She teared, "Your selfishness has robbed you
    Of the man that you could've been
    I wouldn't change a thing about you
    I love you dearly, my friend"

    If he's not here then where?
    If he's not here then where?
    My love, been searching for my Afterman

    If he's not here then where?
    If he's not here then where?
    My love, been searching for my Afterman Writer/s: Claudio Sanchez
