The Chaser Lyrics

Somewhere beyond these unforgetable days
We can find it in ourselves to live our lives again
Misplaced in time, authoring your tragedy
Your dreams and lie never fill the voids in me

And the show goes on without you
Foundations fall that were once built strong around you
And it shows all around you
Foundations fall that were once built strong
So strong... so strong

So you lost the words, lost those words to say
And you lost your voice, and lost your mind again
So back it up rewind
White it out, just forget
Just close your eyes and promise to never open them again

And the show goes on without you
Foundations fall that were once built strong around you
And it shows All around you
Foundations fall that were once built strong

I'm sorry, I'll be gone next summer
So don't wait for me
I'm sorry, I"ll be gone next summer
So don't wait for...
Me... so don't wait for me
'Cuz I need you now more than I ever did
So please don't go, please don't go

DON'T GO! (x4)
('cuz I'm lost without you...
so lost without you...)

So don't go....GO!

Somewhere beyond these unforgetable days
We can find it in ourselves to live our lives again
Misplaced in time, authoring your tragedy
Your dreams and lie never fill the voids in me

And the show goes on without you
Foundations fall that were once built strong around you
And it shows all around you
Foundations fall that were once built strong
So strong... so strong

So you lost the words, lost those words to say
And you lost your voice, and lost  your mind again
So back it up rewind
White it out, just forget
Just close your eyes and promise to never open them again

And the show goes on without you
Foundations fall that were once built strong around you
And it shows All around you
Foundations fall that were once built strong

DON'T GO! (x4)
('cuz I'm lost without you...
 so lost without you...)

So don't go....GO!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

definitely one of my favorite HIPV songs... and it's so good, i don't know why no one ever posted the lyrics.

i'd have to say that this song is about him kinda living his life since heartach or something along those lines. he's learning to live for himself and not dwell on someone else ("foundations fall that were once built strong around you"). it's strange though, it seems he completely changes the song at the end, begging her not to go 'cuz he can't go on without her in his life (i'm just assuming it has to do with a girl).

I love the part where he says "DON'T GO! DON'T GO! (Cause I'm lost without you. I'm so lost without you)" There's so much emotion in his voice, it's like he;s having a breakdown. I love it. And I agree with you XmayhemX, he's stopped leaning on her and always relying on her for the first time, until the end he realises what he's going to lose. And he can't live without her. I think it's beautiful.
