My goal is to write and record a song each week for a year. “Ask Her, After” is the twelfth song in my songwriting series “52 Songs In 52 Weeks.”

Lyrics
Actor
Did you know you’re an actor, baby?
Oh, after
What are we after?
Ask her
Ask her
Chorus
They say she’s got a bleeding heart
Ain’t it a shame
Finding absolution
Isn’t some kind of game
Reminding herself
Yeah, she inked it on her sleeve
Whatever comes after
She’ll still believe
He asked her, oh God
Why did he ask her? Laughter
Disaster
He and she were a disaster
After
Ask her
Chorus
They say she’s got a bleeding heart
Ain’t it a shame
Finding absolution
Isn’t some kind of game
Reminding herself
Yeah, she inked it on her sleeve
Whatever comes after
She’ll still believe
She’ll still believe
Whatever comes after
She’ll still believe
