Carry On

Paint it fast
The face you show the world you know
Wish they could see you with eyes closed
A burning fire, a simple heart
Turning to stone, turning into stone
Put on the mask and act your age
But when they talk what do they say
It’s just a game
And you obey by the rules the winners made
Rules the winners made

And when I thought I was alone
I looked into your eyes and I saw your soul
But I know you were just as lost

I know it’s all my fault
I know you’ve had enough
And you can’t take it anymore
I don’t know what I want

They’re so quick to start a fight
Before they even know what's right
And he is sitting there
Just starring back at me
And he don’t expect the world
But there’s something he sees in me
What does he see in me
And he’s a good man
With such a good heart
I don’t wanna be the one to tear it apart
Tear it apart

I know it’s all my fault
I know you’ve had enough
And you can’t take it anymore
I don’t know what I want

So we carry on, we carry on
We keep hurting one another
So afraid to be alone
Yeah, we carry on, we carry on
And avoid the constant truth
That we don’t know where we belong

And it’s hard for me to be anything but forgiving
Despite the ropes tied in the garden
And the two keys in your pocket
You think I don’t know but I do
I hide resentment much like you
It’s not your fault, it’s just the truth
And we can make it if we try
But I’ll need your help this time
It’s getting old, just scraping by
Eye for an eye just makes you blind
We’ve lost our minds and lost control
And you are far too comfortable
Reciting lines I’ve heard before
You’re all too predicable

I know it’s all my fault
I know you’ve had enough
And you can’t take it anymore
I don’t know what I want
