Life Goes On
Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got nothin' to say, everything hurts
And I know love leads to pain
But memories serve our sweetest refrain, mm
The waves came tumblin' down
As you float away, I'm reachin' for ya
How my life goes on with you gone
I suppose I'll sink like a stone
If you leave me now
Oh, the storms will roll
Easy come, hard go
Then life goes on
I miss the flames, the heated reserve
Oh, I'd remember the way that you put me first
What a heart wrenching shame that you'll never know
Just like tears in the rain, mm
A constant grey in the clouds
When I hear your name, I think of love
So tell me how
How my life goes on with you gone
I suppose I'll sink like a stone
If you leave me now
Oh, the storms will roll
Easy come, hard go
Then life goes on
Ay-yeah, life goes on
Ay-yeah-yeah
I watched the sun setting down
I am so afraid, I need you now
To tell me how
How my life goes on with you gone
I suppose I'll sink like a stone
If you leave me now
Oh, the storms will roll
Easy come, hard go
Then life goes on
Easy come, hard go
Then life goes on
In the song "Life Goes On," Ed Sheeran expresses his feelings of heartbreak and loss. The title itself shows how life inevitably goes on despite the pain and the memories associated with the relationship. Right from the first verse, Sheeran makes it clear that the breakup hit him hard, and he has no words to describe the hurt he is feeling. Throughout the song, he talks about how he misses the bond that he shared with his partner and how he wishes things could go back to the way they used to be.
The chorus of the song shows that Sheeran is struggling to cope with his partner's absence and how it will affect his life going forward. He fears sinking like a stone without her, and the storms represent the turmoil he is going through. Yet, even in the face of pain and heartbreak, the message of the song is one of hope; life goes on. The song ultimately conveys the lesson that love can be painful, but it's the memories that help us carry on.
Line by Line Meaning
It hit like a train, I ran out of words
The overwhelming heartbreak I feel is too intense for me to put into words
I got nothin' to say, everything hurts
My pain is so unyielding that it leaves me speechless
And I know love leads to pain
I understand that falling in love comes with the risk of getting hurt
But memories serve our sweetest refrain, mm
Despite the pain, the happy memories we created together are what I cherish most
The waves came tumblin' down
My world is crashing down around me
As you float away, I'm reachin' for ya
I desperately want to hold onto you but you're slipping away from me
To tell me how
I need you to explain to me
How my life goes on with you gone
I don't understand how to live without you in my life
I suppose I'll sink like a stone
I feel like I'm going to drown without you
If you leave me now
If you choose to walk away from this, it will devastate me
Oh, the storms will roll
If you leave, my world will be filled with turmoil and chaos
Easy come, hard go
Our relationship was easy and effortless at first, but now it's ending with great difficulty
Then life goes on
But even if this ends badly, life will continue
I miss the flames, the heated reserve
I long for the passion and intensity we once shared in our relationship
Oh, I'd remember the way that you put me first
I cherish the moments when you made me feel like a priority in your life
What a heart wrenching shame that you'll never know
It's devastating to think that you'll never fully understand the depth of my love for you
Just like tears in the rain, mm
My love for you was real and sincere, but now it's slipping away like tears in the rain
A constant grey in the clouds
My days are filled with sadness and gloom without you by my side
When I hear your name, I think of love
Even though we're no longer together, hearing your name still reminds me of the love we shared
Ay-yeah, life goes on
Despite the pain and heartbreak, life will continue to move forward
I watched the sun setting down
As each day ends, I'm reminded that time is moving on without you
I am so afraid, I need you now
I'm scared to face the future without you and I desperately want you back in my life

Here's the lyrics. Thanks me later!
[Verse 1]
Babe, you’re too controlin’
I’ma feed you to the wolves when you get nasty, back at me
But baby don’t distract me
I’m a goner, I lost her
Like why the hell you wanna play me that way
You’re bad babe
You double faced entendre
[Chorus]
Life goes on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’
On n’ on n’ on
On n’ on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’
On n’ on n’ on
On n’ on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’
On n’ on n’ on
On n’ on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’
On n’ on n’ on
[Verse 2]
Change was the evolution made us to man
From the primals of a monkey to a homo-sapien
But as we prove our emotions they’re not tools
My animal instincts, maybe even not
Through the series of events that impacted my pack
An equation so abstract, we get distracted by the past
If I made it this long, there’s probably hope
But change is essential for growth
[Chorus]
And life goes on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’
On n’ on n’ on
On n’ on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’
On n’ on n’ on
On n’ on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’
On n’ on n’ on
On n’ on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’
On n’ on n’ on
[Verse 3]
Babe you best believe it
I’ma rip you up to pieces
I’m a lover, not a fighter
But I’ll light this place on fire
I want it, I’m on it
But baby least I’m honest
I get tired of explainin’
As these seasons keep on changin’
[Chorus]
Life goes on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’
On n’ on n’ on
On n’ on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’
On n’ on n’ on
On n’ on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’
On n’ on n’ on
On n’ on n’ on n’ on n’ on n’
On n’ on n’ on
[Post-Chorus]
Work all day, and then I wake up
Work all day, and then I wake up
Work all day, and then I wake up
Work all day
Work all day, and then I wake up
Work all day, and then I wake up
Work all day, and then I wake up
Work all day

Let's be honest here. Some will not appreciate this album, but those who've been with Ed since his first album "+" knew he came back to his roots in songwriting. This is a PHENOMENAL album.
@iLitAfuseiCantStop
I’ve always liked his music but never been a “fan” per se & I’m in love with this album. It’s come along at the perfect time in my life & so many of the songs speak to my own life experiences. All that to say this album appeals to more people than just his OG fans, he’s definitely found a new fan in me
@nunes2video
Yes, it's a great album. He surprise me a looot... 😮
@Ishworgrg686
Please dont lie be true be real this album isn't phenomenal
@bonggeneralao7496
@구룽 just like i said, "SOME will not appreciate this album".
@slink66
indeed
@taylorlondoncreative
Tears running down my face. You can hear the raw emotion in his voice. I feel like Ed carves out a part of his heart and just offers it - bare to the world.
@alessiocece2098
Wow that are some strong words! ✊🥲
@supernovamaxofficial
thats why he is the world's best songwriter
@prettypeggy98
Yes, I feel his music in every fiber of my heart and soul 💖.
He is an amazing person ❣️
