Life Goes On
Turning Point Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We walk away from where we once stood
We knew the love we shared couldn't last
Separation is always understood
To each our life
Responsibilities
After the hard times we've been through together
It's so funny that separation has brought us
We embrace
Smile and walk away
I can't turn back
I only wish to stay
I'll miss you
When you're gone
I can't help but think about you
But life goes on
Why must we leave
Why can't I stay
Next time we talk down this beaten path
I'm turning back your way
The song "Life Goes On" by Turning Point discusses the painful process of moving on after a relationship has ended.

The chorus provides a sense of finality, depicting the singer embracing their former partner and smiling as they part ways. Despite the pain and longing they feel, the singer cannot turn back and is resigned to the fact that life must continue without their former lover. The bridge highlights the singer's struggle to come to terms with the end of their relationship, as they wonder why they must leave and why they can't stay.
Overall, the song "Life Goes On" is a poignant portrayal of the emotional toll of separation and the struggle to move forward while still holding onto the memories of the past.

Again
Starting over
We walk away from where we once stood
Leaving behind something meaningful
We knew the love we shared couldn't last
Realizing that a once strong love is no longer sustainable
Separation is always understood
Knowing that separations happen and accepting it
To each our life
Each one has their own life to live
Responsibilities
The burdens and obligations we have in life
After the hard times we've been through together
Acknowledging the difficulties faced in the past as a team
It's so funny that separation has brought us to our knees
Finding it ironic that something so seemingly minor can have such a big impact
We embrace, smile and walk away
Saying goodbyes with positivity and grace
I can't turn back
Not being able to change the past
I only wish to stay
Having a desire to hold on to what once was
I'll miss you
Being sentimental about someone's departure
When you're gone
After you have left
I can't help but think about you
Still having thoughts and memories of the person who left
But life goes on
Life doesn't stop even when we lose something or someone important
Why must we leave
Questioning the nature of goodbyes
Why can't I stay
Desiring to stay in a place or state of things
Next time we talk down this beaten path, I'm turning back your way
Looking forward to a future encounter and expressing a willingness to reconcile
