[Chorus]
Continue on without me, baby, let your new life take its place,
I don't want your pity, just the love that you erased.
All these thoughts been taking over, screaming where I sat,
I just want you to be happy, even if that means that…

[Verse 1]
The city whispers secrets, and I listen in the rain
I walk these streets and carry all the burdens and the strain
A dozen bottles, thousand faces, none can ease the pain
The voices linger through the nights, but the thought of you remains

[Chorus]
Continue on without me, baby, let your new life take its place,
I don't want your pity, just the love that you erased.
All these thoughts been taking over, screaming where I sat,
I just want you to be happy, even if that means that…

[Verse 2]
The stars are shining overhead, but never seem to speak
Their quiet glow reminds me of the answers that I seek
The weights I carry grow each day, it cuts me down so deep
The mirror shows a broken man who’s lost the will to keep

[Chorus]
Continue on without me, baby, let your new life take its place,
I don't want your pity, just the love that you erased.
All these thoughts been taking over, screaming where I sat,
I just want you to be happy, even if that means that…

[instrumental begins to fade out]

[Last verse]
I won’t be next to you when he walks you down that aisle,
I won’t be a memory that lingers just to steal your smile,
I’ll fade into the echoes of the love we used to know,
And hope you keep on shining everywhere you go.

[instrumental fades out completely]
