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
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…
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
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…
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
