You say I don't need you
But I don't believe you
Everybody needs everyone, well
Everybody needs someone

All the things that you borrowed
Left you scared of tomorrow
How you ever gonna pay back?
You'll have a heart attack

But every little thing that you gave away
Every little kiss up until today
You're gonna get it back somehow
I thought you wanna know by now

CHORUS

(won't go away) It never goes away
(won't go away) It never ever goes away
(won't go away) Even when you're gone
(won't go away) Your memory will linger on
(won't go away) It never goes away
(won't go away) It never ever goes away
(won't go away) Love will make you strong
(won't go away) Don't forget to pass it on

If you've ever been lonely
Then you'll know that I'm only
One person from happiness
One person away from happiness

And it may never happen
'Cause I'm never in fashion
And it feels like I'm getting old (getting old)
I feel I'm getting old

But every little thing that I gave away
Every little smile up until today
I'm gonna get it back somehow
I'm gonna get it back right now

REPEAT CHORUS

(won't go away) Yeah yeah
(won't go away)

Now you've left a trace (now you've left a trace)
In hearts and time and space

REPEAT CHORUS

(won't go away) It never goes away
(won't go away) It never ever goes away
(won't go away) Even when you're dead and gone
(won't go away) Your memory will linger on
(won't go away) It never goes away
(won't go away) It never ever goes away
(won't go away) Love will make you strong
(won't go away) Don't forget to pass it on
(won't go away) Don't forget to pass it on
(won't go away) Don't forget to pass it on
(won't go away) Don't forget to pass it on
(won't go away) Don't forget to pass it
