Carry On
K. Lloyd Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was confused
Thought I was losing you
I put you up on a shelf
Come to find out
I was losing myself
I gave it all from the start
Just to watch it all fall apart
Would've traveled the oceans
Just to see our love in motion
I tried
To fight
Make things right
But they weren't meant to be
Don't want to live like that
Can't get my heart attached
Don't leave and come right back
It's time to carry on
Don't want to live like that
Can't get my heart attached
Don't leave and come right back
It's time to carry on
Lately I've been focused
Didn't even notice all the shade they threw
I just let that shit go yeah yeah
Can't even pay attention
I'm onto bigger and better things did I mention
I got so fed up that I got my bread up
Looked in the mirror and told her don't let up
I told her don't let up now we're up and we made it I can say that shit proud
Where we at right now?
I ain't goin down no
No no no no no
Don't want to live like that
Can't get my heart attached
Don't leave and come right back
It's time to carry on
Don't want to live like that
Can't get my heart attached
Don't leave and come right back
It's time to carry on
Finding my closure
Knowing It's never really over
Reaching the dreams I'm getting closer
Let go of lust
Learning to trust
Learning to love you
And I'll carry on
Don't want to live like that
Can't get my heart attached
Don't leave and come right back
It's time to carry on
Don't want to live like that
Can't get my heart attached




Don't leave and come right back
It's time to carry on
