Lyrics
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
So the philosophers tell you
But they don't know how deeply you fall
It's a long way down from that mountain
Someone set that bar way too high
And now she's gone forever
Gone and left me wondering why
I'm drifting on a river of pain
Flowing down a mountain of fears
Rolling cross the meadows of memories
To an endless ocean of tears
I'm holding on the best I can
But half of me is going insane
The current keeps on pulling me under
Drifting down that river of pain
Why'd she have to be so beautiful
Why was she so easy to love
Nothing's ever gonna replace her
Not looking for the moon and the dove
And if I live to be a hundred
I'll keep her sweet memory alive
We'll always sing our songs together
Our love will survive
So I wear this pin around my neck
To keep your ashes close to my heart
You'll always be here with me
Even though we're worlds apart
So far apart
I'm drifting on a river of pain
Flowing down a mountain of fears
Rolling cross the meadows of memories
To an endless ocean of tears
I'm holding on the best I can
But half of me is going insane
The current keeps pulling me under
Drifting down that river of pain
