The World Goes On written by Ariana Christine Frankowski
Verse 1:
Take a look around, see the city lights
The world keeps spinning and the moon still shines.
Everything we know goes on as it always has.
Get into my car, drive down familiar streets
Pass over the train tracks in the same worn leather seats.
It’s all so picture perfect-but it’s another life.
Intro:
I try to tell myself that life goes on
I try to act as if there’s nothing wrong
But I can’t keep pretending.
Chorus:
My vision of a perfect life and happy ending faded
The day you walked away, I’ll never be the same.
My heart was shattered open as my tears like rain cascaded
You were my everything and now you’re gone
And I’m all alone…
Yet, the world goes on.
Verse 2:
Colors turned to gray, now every thing looks wrong.
Nothing is the same, somehow I feel I don’t belong.
I’m separated from everything I used to know.
I feel so lost I can’t, tell down from up I get
So sick of spinning around all of the time.
intro:
I try to tell myself that life goes on.
I try to act as if there’s nothing wrong
But I can’t keep pretending.
Chorus:
My vision of a perfect life and happy ending faded
The day you walked away, I’ll never be the same.
My heart was shattered open as my tears like rain cascaded
You were my everything and now you’re gone.
And I’m all alone…
Yet, the world goes on.
Bridge:
It’s hard to believe that time keeps going while I fall apart
And the world keeps on spinning while I try to mend my heart.
Chorus:
My vision of a perfect life and happy ending faded
The day you walked away, I’ll never be the same.
My heart was shattered open as my tears like rain cascaded
You were my everything and now you’re gone.
And I’m all alone…
Yet, the world goes on
(The world goes on while I’m stuck here alone)
Repeat Chorus:
Repeat Intro:
I try to tell myself that life goes on.
I try to act as if there’s nothing wrong.
But I can’t keep pretending.
