Story Behind The Song

This is the original Cliche Song. My girlfriend broke up w/ me after a 2 year relationship...i was devistated. My mother, friends, everyone would tell me Life Goes On. I finally realized they were right. It does. As cliche as it sounds.

Song Description

Everybody tells this person..."you broke up w/ the love of your life...but its ok..Life Goes On." But it doesnt sink in. Until over and over again he hears it "life does go on". Its such a cliche and no one ever gives it much thought....until he really realizes it does go on!

Lyrics

Life Goes On (The Cliché Song)


Verse 1

There is a picture, that hangs on my wall
My friends came over, said ?Matt, she?s gone?
I tell ?em ?I love her, I cant let go?
They say ?she?s a memory, and you should know?
They sing??

Chorus

Life Goes On, they sing Life Goes On
And you gotta sing along
But I cant sing that song

Verse 2

My mom came over, said ?son you?re wrong?
?You can do it, I know you?re strong?
?But Ma this is the hardest thing, that I?ve ever known?
?I lie at wake at night my feelings have grown?
She sings?..

Chorus

Life Goes On, she sings Life Goes On
And you gotta sing along
But mom I can?t sing that song

Verse 3

4 months later, my friends came by
Said ?Where?s that picture??, I said ?I?ve been living a lie?
?I thought that she loved me, with all of her heart?
?I met someone new now, it?s a brand new start?
?And I KNOW I can sing?..I sing??

Chorus

Life Goes On, I sing Life Goes On
And I gotta sing along
And I CAN sing this song

Life Goes On, I sing Life Goes On
And you gotta sing along
Broken hearted people you can sing this song

It goes?.

Life Goes On, It goes Life Goes On
And you gotta sing along
If you believe in God Life Goes On
