To the end of the world
Since you’re gone
There’s nothing that holds me back
And in these pictures here
I see your eyes
And that’s why I sing your song
From east to west
Until the pain subsides
Oh, to the end of the world
From south to north
To every place
So you can live on
Don’t cling to what once was
You always wanted that
And I smile as I do it again
Exactly the opposite of what you say
It’s been a long time
Sometimes they talk about you
But I sing your song
So you can live on
From east to west
Until the pain subsides
Oh, to the end of the world
From south to north
To every place
So you can live on
(So you can live on)
And I sing your song
From east to west
Until the pain subsides
Oh, to the end of the world
From south to north
To every place
So you can live on
So you can live on
To the end of the world
