Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It was only one hour ago

It was all so different then

There's nothing yet has really sunk in

Looks like it always did

This flesh and bone

Is just the way that you were tied in

Now there's no one home

[Verse 2]

I grieve for you

And you leave me

[Verse 3]

It's so hard to move on

Still loving what's gone

They say life carries on

Carries on and on, and, and on

[Verse 4]

The news that truly shocks

Is the empty, empty page

While the final rattle rocks

Its empty, empty cage

And I can't handle this

[Verse 5]

I grieve for you

And you leave me

[Verse 6]

Let it out and move on

Missing what's gone

They say life carries on

They say life carries on, and on, and on

[Verse 7]

Life carries on in the people I meet

In everyone that's out on the street

In all the dogs and cats

In the flies and rats

In the rot and the rust

In the ashes and the dust

Life carries on and on, and on, and on

Life carries on and on, and on

[Verse 8]

It's just the car that we ride in

A home we reside in

The face that we hide in

The way we are tied in

And life carries on and on, and on, and on

Life carries on and on, and on

[Verse 9]

Did I dream this belief?

Or did I believe this dream?

Now I can find relief

I grieve
