Did you lose your way?
Were you down on your luck?
Was your last nerve spent before you closed the door?
One big mistake
I guess that I will never know
Fell on black days, now you're gone forevermore

Beyond the ache
The here and now
One last refrain
Is ringing out

It carries on
Know your song will never die
Like an offering of love
A sacred rite
You'll carry on
A million hearts will beat in time
To an aching melody
That will survive
An eternal lullaby

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

I can't pretend what you did didn't hurt
No, I can't pretend it doesn't break my heart
Your true intent, in the end, we'll never know
But we piece together what was torn apart

What's done is done
So let it be
Let solace come
Through a melody

It carries on
So your song will never die
Like an offering of love
A sacred rite
You'll carry on
A million hearts will beat in time
To an aching melody
That will survive

And here we are
Torn apart
They say that time can mend a broken heart
My shooting star
You left your mark
But the question still remains
Tell me why you chose to leave us in the dark, oh

It carries on
So your song will never die
Like an offering of love
A sacred rite
You'll carry on
A million hearts will beat in time
To an aching melody
That will survive

An eternal lullaby
An eternal lullaby
An eternal lullaby
An eternal lullaby

Did you lose your way?
Were you down on your luck?
Was your last nerve spent before you closed the door?
