Carry On

[Verse 1]
I walk the streets uncertain of what I was searching for
She stands alone in silence, I see that she's been hurt before
And I every step, a chance to lose the past
And breathe again, but we pretend we're soldiers
Go hard into the wall

[Refrain]
Heaven knows we cry
Heaven knows we try
Heaven knows I lied to myself saying I'm better off alone
It's the only way that I've known to get along for this long
Weak heart keeps my head strong

[Pre-Chorus]
So the man that I pretend to be
Has interfered with destiny
And kept me from what's best for me
And left me alone

And all the makeup she can buy
Can't seem to find a way to hide
The way she felt, the days she cried inside
But somehow we carry on

[Chorus]
I'll tell myself just one more drink I'll be fine
We'll carry on
She'll share her feelings with her pillow each night
We'll carry on
And we'll pretend that everything is alright
'Til the sand castles crumble
And the toys all just die
We'll carry on

[Verse 2]
Eh, lay in my bed just staring at the pictures on the wall, woah
Oh, I tell myself don't care but I can hardly sleep at all
'Cause every song that plays on the radio
Reminds me that you're gone and that it's over
My bridge burned and my heart's on, on

[Refrain]
But heaven knows we cry
Heaven knows we try
Heaven knows I lied to myself saying I'm better off alone
It's the only way that I've known to get along for this long
Weak heart keeps my head strong

[Pre-Chorus]
So the man that I pretend to be
Has interfered with destiny
And kept me from what's best for me
And left me alone

And all the makeup she can buy
Can't seem to find a way to hide
The way she felt, the days she cried inside
But somehow we carry on

[Chorus]
I'll tell myself just one more drink I'll be fine
We'll carry on
She'll share her feelings with her pillow each night
We'll carry on
And we'll pretend that everything is alright
'Til the sand castles crumble
And the toys all just die
We'll carry on

[Bridge]
I'll be fine You'll never know if you hurt me
Or know that I'm lonely, oh no
Behind my smile
A thousand miles beneath is the strength that I need to carry on

I'll tell myself just one more drink I'll be fine..

[Chorus]
I'll tell myself just one more drink I'll be fine
We'll carry on
She'll share her feelings with her pillow each night
We'll carry on
And we'll pretend that everything is alright
'Til the sand castles crumble
And the toys all just die
We'll carry on
