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

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

Well, someday both of us are leaving here

But for now, I'll just bring the sea to you

Will 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 worried"

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

Everything goes on
