This is a song by Pulp Magazine's managing editor Peach Abubakar, a.k.a. Isha, from her debut album Time and Again. The CD contains a few jazzed-up covers (Madonna's Cherish and the Go-Go's Head Over Heels, etc.) and a number of her originals. Check it out! It's very much worth your P 280. People who like the independent, folky-pop ladies of the Lilith Fair will most definitely love this gem.

LIFE AFTER
words and music by Isha
(Candid Music Ltd.)
once i took the road most traveled and i loved him
he offered me his dirty room and some books to read
at first it was beautiful, the way we both thought so differently
but time laid bare who we were and what we really didn't want to see
soon we were fighting
he fell into lying
the nights were full of crying
this love was slowly dying
my life with him is just never the same
sometimes all is forgiven, sometimes one of us is to blame
my life with him is all broken and in flames
only the record of the pain has remained
i tried, i tried, i tried to keep this love alive
like a caterpillar plucked from a tree and kept in a bottle for everyone to see
i tried, i tried, i tried to smile and make amends
but after all has been said and done
how can we ever still be friends?
and my life with him is just never the same
the soft skin of our love now lies shattered in the rain
alone in my room i'm the only one to blame
while a tear away he looks in the mirror and sees my face
don't go, don't go, don't go now
but i guess you have to leave
so i can live
