Carry On
Sebastian Kole Lyrics

I walk the streets uncertain of what I was searching for
Uncertainty plagues me, as I roam the streets aimlessly, in search of something undefined

She stands alone in silence I see that she's been hurt before
I observe a woman standing in solitude, and realize that she bears the scars of previous emotional wounds

And I every step a chance to lose the past
Each step I take is an opportunity to leave behind my history and move forward

And breathe again, but we pretend we're soldiers
Starting fresh brings a sense of liberation, but we try to be strong and brave, like soldiers do

Go hard into the wall
I put in all my effort and strength, but sometimes I face a dead end

Heaven knows we cry
We cry in pain and sorrow, and only heaven knows the extent of our suffering

Heaven knows we try
Despite the difficulties, we keep trying, with the hope that things will get better

Heaven knows I lied to myself saying I'm better off alone
I deceive myself into thinking that solitude is better than the potential pain of relationships

It's the only way that I'm known to get along for this long
I've been so used to being alone that it's the only way I've managed to survive until now

Weak heart keeps my head strong
Despite my vulnerabilities, my resolve to overcome them keeps me strong

So the man that I pretend to be has interfered with destiny
Faking a persona has caused disruptions in my fate

And kept me from what's best for me
My pretense has hindered me from what's truly beneficial for me

And left me alone
As a result, I've ended up in solitude

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
No matter how much she tries to conceal it with makeup, the agony she feels and the tears she's shed are still prevalent inside of her

But somehow we carry on
Nevertheless, we find the strength to move forward

I'll tell myself just one more drink I'll be fine
I delude myself into thinking that one more drink will make everything better

She'll share her feelings with her pillow each night
She unloads her emotions to her pillow every night, unable to confide in anyone else

We'll pretend that everything is alright, 'til the sand castles crumble and the toys all just die
We put on an illusion of normalcy, until reality catches up and reminds us of our grief and loss

Eh, lay in my bed just staring at the pictures on the wall
I lie in bed, staring at the pictures on the wall with no particular thought

Oh, I tell myself don't care but I can hardly sleep at all
Although I convince myself that I don't care, it's impossible for me to get a good night's sleep

Cause every song that plays on the radio
Each tune that plays on the radio triggers something in me

Reminds me that you're gone
And that something is the realization that the person I love is no longer with me

And that it's over
My relationship has come to a permanent end

My bridge burned and my heart's on, on
The emotional connection between us is gone, and my heart is left empty

You'll never know if you hurt me or know that I'm lonely, oh no
You'll never realize that your absence has caused me pain and loneliness

Behind my smile
Although I smile outwardly, there's turmoil inside

A thousand miles beneath is the strength that I need to carry on
Despite this, I keep going, drawing courage from somewhere deep within me
