Song lyrics

[Verse 1:]
It was only one hour ago,
It was all so different then,
Nothing yet has really sunk in,
Looks like it always did.
This flesh and bone,
It's just the way that you would tied in,
Now there's no one home.

[Chorus:]
I grieve for you,
You leave me,
So hard to move on,
Still loving what's gone,
They say life carries on,
Carries on, and on, and on, and on.

[Verse 2:]
The news that truly shocks is the empty, empty page,
While the final rattle rocks it's empty, empty cage,
And I can't handle this.

[Chorus:]
I grieve for you,
You leave me,
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 3:]
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.
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.
Did I dream this belief?
Or did I believe this dream?
Now I can find relief,
I grieve.
