Carry On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
This will be over
I hope you don't mind the pain
I wanna cut you
And let you force it out clean
It'd be a shot quick
I think I know how this works
Things will be better
Because they can't get much worse
And we will carry on
Carry, carry on
Now, I can't carry the weight of your hang-ups
They're dead weight, they're made out of lead
And I can't carry the guilt and frustration
Of something someone else said
Now I'm just learning to carry myself
Carry myself on my own
Now I'm just looking to carry myself
Carry on, carry on, carry on
Whenever I see you
I know you think I don't know
That I could be you
And your thoughts they don't show
I want to trust you
I want to trust you so bad
I want to bust you
Stealing the few things we had
And we will carry on
Carry on
Now, I can't carry the weight of your hang-ups
They're dead weight, they're made out of lead
And I can't carry the guilt and frustration
Of something someone else said
Now I'm just learning to carry myself
Carry myself on my own
Now I'm just looking to carry myself
Carry on, carry on, carry on
(Now's the place to lose your faith
Keep the faith that reinstates the habits
That are forming what you feel)
This will be over
