Everything Goes On

Lyrics

Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
 Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
 So let's pretend a little longer
 'Cause when we're gone
 Everything goes on
 Well, you were staring at the window
 And I said, "I wanna take you to the sea"
 And when I'm better, we'll do everything
 I gotta stop making promises I can't keep
 But if I was gone tomorrow, won't the waves crash on?
 Is it selfish that I'm happy as we pass the setting sun?
 Someday I'll be overcast, but you won't have to cry
 'Cause we'll do the grieving while I'm by your side
 I said
 Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
 Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
 So let's pretend a little longer
 'Cause when we're gone
 Everything goes on
 ♪
 And I'm so scared of getting used to this
 All the vines that keep you tethered in your room
 Someday both of us are leaving here
 But for now, I'll just bring to the sea to you, ooh
 When you meet me in the daylight like we did before
 Then I felt you on my shoulder, and you weren't suffering anymore
 You said, "I'm sorry that you worry, but don't apologize"
 I told you to forget me, but you stayed by my side
 When I said
 Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
 Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
 So let's pretend a little longer
 And when we're gone, ah
 Everything goes on
 
 Don't try to make yourself remember, darling
 Don't look for me, I'm just a story you've been told
