After You've Gone I'll Go On

After you've gone I'll go on
I'll give up the dream I've been dreaming
Nothing I'm doing will give me away
Nothing I'm doing and nothing I'll say
After you've gone I'll get by day to day
After you've gone I'll go on

I will go on when you're gone
I'll go and I won't look behind me
You'll be an idea I foolishly had
When things don't work out it is simply too bad
There's no point in being perpetually sad
After you've gone I'll go on

You wanted to love me
I know this is true
You wanted to love me
I wanted it to
But darling there was not a thing you could do
'Cause whether you love is not up to you

So after you've gone I'll go on
My heart has been broken before this
I'll hold out my hand and I'll bid you goodbye
I won't ask your plans and you won't see me cry
I won't ask you to stay for you cannot comply
After you've gone I'll go on

You wanted to love me
I know this is true
You wanted to love me
I wanted it to
But darling there was not a thing you could do
'Cause whether you love is not up to you

So after you've gone I'll go on
My heart has been broken before this
I'll hold out my hand and I'll bid you goodbye
I won't ask your plans and you won't see me cry
I won't ask you to stay for you cannot comply
After you've gone I'll go on
After you've gone I'll go on
After you've gone I'll go on
