Last summer you were here with me
Long warm nights, easy and free
Every day felt strong and true
Life made sense when I had you

Now I walk these streets alone
Silent nights, cold phone
Same old roads, a different view
Everything reminds me of you

I didn’t know how fast things change
How love can fade, how hearts feel strange

I’ll leave the pain behind me
I won’t let it pull me down
I’ll keep moving forward
I won’t turn around
I’ll leave the pain behind me
I won’t drown in what I lost
I’ll go and make new happy moments
No matter what the cost

People smile, the city breathes
I fake strength, hide the grief
Every place we used to go
Still holds echoes I still know

But I can’t live in yesterday
I won’t throw my life away
Even broken, I can stand
With empty nights and open hands

Some scars stay, but I grow
Learning what to let go

I’ll leave the pain behind me
I won’t let it pull me down
I’ll keep moving forward
I won’t turn around
I’ll leave the pain behind me
I won’t drown in what I lost
I’ll go and make new happy moments
No matter what the cost

Maybe love will come again
When I’m stronger than I’ve been
Maybe time will show me why
Some things end so we survive

I’ll leave the pain behind me
Step by step, day by day
I’ll build something better
From what faded away
I’ll leave the pain behind me
I choose hope instead of fear
I’ll go and make new happy moments
Starting here
