Carousel
Izibor Laura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cause she was his lover
She was his friend
He was her everything
Someone to depend

When she wakes up in the mornin'
And all his things are gone
She looks into the mirror

Thinkin' what did I do wrong

There he goes
But I gotta keep movin'
There ain't nothing to lose for ?

Everyday has its ups and downs
You think you're lost
You will be found
Most of us want the same old things
Someone to love
What it brings
I know its hard it gets tough sometimes
You gotta hold on, like a carousel
Going around and around and around and around

She was so young
But she was in love
He promised her everything
That she could dream of

When she wakes up in the mornin'
Finds that he ain't there
She looks into the mirror
Thinking how did I get here

There he goes
But I gotta keep movin'
There aint nothin' to lose for ?

Everyday has its ups and downs
You think you're lost
You will be found
Most of us want the same old things
Someone to love
What it brings
I know its hard it gets tough sometimes
You gotta hold on, like a carousel
Going around and around and around and around

Yeah

Everyday has its ups and downs
You think you're lost
You will be found
Most of us want the same old things
Someone to love
What it brings
I know its hard it gets tough sometimes

You gotta hold on, like a carousel
Going around and around and around and around [Repeat: x3]
