Everything Goes Away - Justin Cross

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 Someday both of us are leaving here But for now, I'll just bring to the sea to you, ooh When 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 worry, 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, ah Everything goes on

Time slips away And I lose another day But I try not to wish For anything but this I know Full circle comes around To go Don't feed the underground 'Cause they never hurt you, no So I take it real slow baby Now, now, now They never hurt you, no But everything goes baby Wow, wow, wow 'Cause they never hurt you, no So I take it real slow baby Now, now, now They never hurt you, no But everything goes baby Wow, wow, wow We're all on our way To that world beyond our days If we walk in the sun We'll have peace when it's done I know Full circle comes around To go Don't feed the underground 'Cause they never hurt you, no So I take it real slow baby Now, now, now They never hurt you, no But everything goes baby Wow, wow, wow 'Cause they never hurt you, no So I take it real slow baby Now, now, now They never hurt you, no But everything goes baby Wow, wow, wow Baby wow, wow, wow Baby wow, wow, wow So when time slips away All the love that I gave Will be left on the walls And I'll live after all 'Cause they never hurt you, no So I take it real slow baby Now, now, now They never hurt you, no (Never) But everything goes baby Wow, wow, wow 'Cause they never hurt you, no (You know) So I take it real slow baby Now, now, now They never hurt you, no (You know) But everything goes baby Wow, wow, wow

Chasing these shadows Around this darkened room I've laid here so long I don't even want to move I need a minute now to heal I need a minute now To remember how to feel Whenever you're gone away, The darkness hides the day Whenever you're gone, The bleeding won't stop It hurts 'til you come back Everything goes black Everything goes black I reached out for you when I needed you to be there (All alone, chasing these shadows) I don't want the pain, but, I'd rather hurt then not care (Its so long, You've been away from here) I need a reason now to heal (I need something to believe in) I need a reason now To remember how to feel Whenever you're gone away, The darkness hides the day Whenever you're gone, The bleeding won't stop It hurts 'til you come back Everything goes black Everything goes black Give me something to believe in, I still believe in you (But if you're never here, and I'm left all alone, Tell me what I am supposed to do?) Whenever you're gone away, The darkness hides the day Whenever you're gone, The bleeding won't stop It hurts 'til you come back Everything goes black Everything goes black Everything goes black (Whenever you're gone) Everything goes black

Standing by the blinds Above the city lights A junkie for your touch Dressing up for the night The winter sky is clear Passing faceless silhouettes Counting wasted years Like burnt out cigarettes Where are you now? I have to carry the cross Where are you now? You're the greatest loss Falling like a flake In a snowstorm ball Where every little shake Makes a blizzard of it all Where are you now? I have to carry the cross Where are you now? You're the greatest loss
