Life Goes On Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It hit like a train, I ran out of words
I got nothin' to say, everything hurts
And I know love leads to pain
But memories serve our sweetest refrain, mmm

[Pre-Chorus]
The waves came tumblin' down
As you float away, I'm reachin' for ya

[Chorus]
To tell me how, how my life goes on with you gone
I suppose I'll sink like a stone
If you leave me now, oh, the storms will roll
Easy come, hard go, then life goes on

[Verse 2]
Would I miss the flames, the heated reserve?
Oh, I'd remember thе way that you put me first
And what a heart-wrenchin' shamе
That you'll never know, just like tears in the rain, mmm

[Pre-Chorus]
A constant grey in the clouds
When I hear your name, I think of love
[Chorus]
So, tell me how, how my life goes on with you gone
I suppose I'll sink like a stone
If you leave me now, oh, the storms will roll
Easy come, hard go, then life goes on

[Post-Chorus]
Ah, yeah, life goes on
Ah, yeah

[Bridge]
I watched the sun setting down
I am so afraid, I need you now

[Chorus]
To tell me how, how my life goes on with you gone
I suppose I'll sink like a stone
If you leave me now, oh, the storms will roll
Easy come, hard go, then life goes on
Easy come, hard go, then life goes on

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
