Carry On

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your pessimism is drowning me out
I keep on screaming but you're holding me under
I tried so hard to get it through to you
You think you're better than everyone else

Don't act so desperate
It's time to get over yourself
It's time to get yourself
And you look so miserable
It's time to get over yourself
(Time to get over yourself)

You're not worth my time
You're just so full of shit
Don't go running your mouth again
I caught you lying to them
(I caught you playing with fire)
Don't go searching for sympathy
I caught you looking at them
(I caught you playing with fire)
You'll get nothing from me

Don't act so desperate
It's time to get over yourself
Time to get yourself
And when you reach, reach for me
You know that someday I will carry on
And when you fall, fall away, you know
That someday I will carry on
I'll carry on

Don't go running your mouth again
(I caught you lying to them)
I caught you playing with fire
Don't go searching for sympathy
(I caught you looking at them)
I caught you playing with fire

And when you reach, reach for me
You know that someday I will carry on

And when you reach, reach for me
You know that someday I will carry on
And when you fall, fall away
You know that someday I will carry on
I'll carry on





Don't go running your mouth again
Don't go running your mouth again

White Washed by ABR: "Don't say another word, you've crossed the line!!!" Carry On (feat Jake Luhrs): "Don't go running your mouth again!" EPIC :O

@logansmith801

Jake Luhrs is featured on this track, that's probably why it sounds like ABR.
