Life Goes On

You think it was easy in a city as crowded as this

To not be alone, but I'm feeling alone tonight

And I'm trying to fight the memories of you

And I admit there's been someone else hanging around

But I gotta say, "He's just not the same"

"He doesn't light me up the way you do"

Did you mean it when you said I was perfect?

Apparently not (uh-uh-uh)

'Cause as soon as I said I was hurting

You wanted to stop (uh-uh-uh)

And I still wake up at the same time, trying my best to keep you off my mind

Mama said, "Keep your head up

'Cause with or without you, my life goes on"

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)

(Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh)

I see your face in everything I do (uh-uh-uh)

I pray to God you think about me too (uh-uh-uh)

And I still wake up at the same time, trying my best to keep you off my mind

Mama said, "Keep your head up

'Cause with or without you, my life goes on"

I go through the motions and I try to stay focused on me

Try to be grateful

'Cause I should be grateful that I'm still standing, I'm still breathing

But in the back of my mind, I can't help thinking about you moving on

I know I should be strong, but no one lights me up the way you do

Did you mean it when you said I was perfect?

Apparently not (uh-uh-uh)

'Cause as soon as I said I was hurting

You wanted to stop (uh-uh-uh)

And I still wake up at the same time, trying my best to keep you off my mind

Mama said, "Keep your head up

'Cause with or without you, my life goes on"

(Uh-uh)

(Uh-uh)
