Life Goes On Lyrics
[Intro]
Momentary
Temporary, transient
Impermanent, fugitive
Short-lived
Fleeting
[Pre-Chorus]
There was something great about you
Something that'll never be the same without you
Something that I'm always gonna miss
Guess that's how it is
[Chorus]
We pass each other by
And we don't share our time for long
We have a change of mind
The moment ends and life goes on
Life goes on
We go on by ourselves
And hope that we won't be for long
Then we find someone else
It starts again
And life goes on
Momentary
Temporary, transient
Impermanent, fugitive
Short-lived
Fleeting
[Pre-Chorus]
There was something great about you
Something that'll never be the same without you
Something that I'm always gonna miss
Guess that's how it is
[Chorus]
We pass each other by
And we don't share our time for long
We have a change of mind
The moment ends and life goes on
Life goes on
We go on by ourselves
And hope that we won't be for long
Then we find someone else
It starts again
And life goes on
[Hook]
I should let go
But I think of you more than you know
I think of you more than you know
[Bridge]
And we weren't a big deal
And you've probably forgotten me
You seem happy
Guess that I am too
But I can't forget about you
[Pre-Chorus]
There was something great about you
Something that'll never be the same without you
Something that I'm always gonna miss
Guess that's how it is
There was something great about you
Something that'll never be the same without you
Something that I'm always gonna miss
Guess that's how it is
[Chorus]
We pass each other by
And we don't share our time for long
We have a change of mind
The moment ends and life goes on
Life goes on
I should let go
But I think of you more than you know
I think of you more than you know
[Bridge]
And we weren't a big deal
And you've probably forgotten me
You seem happy
Guess that I am too
But I can't forget about you
[Pre-Chorus]
There was something great about you
Something that'll never be the same without you
Something that I'm always gonna miss
Guess that's how it is
There was something great about you
Something that'll never be the same without you
Something that I'm always gonna miss
Guess that's how it is
[Chorus]
We pass each other by
And we don't share our time for long
We have a change of mind
The moment ends and life goes on
Life goes on
We go on by ourselves
And hope that we won't be for long
Then we find someone else
It starts again
And life goes on
[Hook]
I should let go
But I think of you more than you know
I think of you more than you know
[Outro]

Genius Answer
Bester’s words about the theme of the song:
It’s something very personal to me, about ghosts that aren’t physically with you anymore but still leave an impression. It’s admitting to missing someone but accepting that you have to let go of people sometimes.
