They say that life will go on
I still can’t believe that you’re gone
These memories of you are so strong
I wonder how I will go on

They say that I will survive
And all that I need is some time
That I should move on with my life
I wonder how I will survive

Chorus
Each night I pray that it’s just a bad dream
But I know that it’s for real
And if I had one wish you know I would tell you
all of these things that I feel
But now that you’re gone I’ll try to be strong
But I wonder how I will go on

They say that when your loved one dies
You carry them with you inside
No matter how hard I try
I can’t help but wonder why

They say don’t hide from the pain
I’m angry, I’m sad, I’m afraid
Sometimes I can’t feel a thing
I wonder if I’m going insane

(chorus)

Sometimes I smile and look back
On all of the good times we had
It makes me feel happy and sad
These memories of you that I have

They say that life will go on
I still can’t believe that you’re gone
These memories of you are so strong
I wonder how I will go on
