​evergone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thoughts of you bring me back
To times I thought we'd always have
Who knew the world could spin so fast? I didn't
I write letters to you in my head
Things we did and things we said
Today I heard someone say your name again

[Chorus]
In your hopes and dreams
In your memories
In the songs we sing
In the ones we leave
We carry on
But no one is evergone
No one is evergone
No one is evergone
In your hopes and dreams
In your memories
No one is evergone

[Verse 2]
I think about a better place
And learn to live with the heartache
Between the nights and days, they'll wash away
And every time I think of you
I feel you in the things I do
With every step, you're in my every breath
[Chorus]
In your hopes and dreams
In your memories
In the songs we sing
In the ones we leave
We carry on
But no one is evergone
No one is evergone
No one is evergone
In your hopes and dreams
In your memories
No one is evergone

[Bridge]
I don't wanna keep going on without you
Grow around the pain if I have to
So I make a space inside my heart
No one is evergone

[Chorus]
In your hopes and dreams
In your memories
In the songs we sing
In the ones we leave
We carry on
But no one is evergone
In your hopes and dreams
In your memories
(No one is evergone)
In the songs we sing
In the ones we leave
We carry on

No one is evergone
No one is evergone
No one is evergone
In your hopes and dreams
In your memories

No one is evergone
[Outro]
Thoughts of you bring me back
To times I thought we'd always have
Who knew the world could spin so fast? I didn't

What did Christina Perri say about "​evergone"?
Genius Answer

Speaking to People Magazine, Christina Perri explained what the song meant to her and helping her grieve her daughter Rosie, who was “born silent” in late 2020. She explains,

It is a story about grief and loss and choosing to believe the person you lost isn’t really gone.

Perri mentioned that more specifically, “writing this song helped me heal from the recent loss of my daughter,” and that it is “so much more than another release.”

I hope my words help others through their own grief and healing
