Carry On

In having to say goodbye to many relationships in my life, this song is an amalgamation of those stories, and the feelings when I knew it was time to go. It’s about taking that first step away from a troubled relationship, not knowing what lies down the road, but knowing in your heart that it’s time to “carry on alone.”

Lyrics

Empty eyes reveal me
You drop my hand and turn away
I see the pain flow through you
I take a breath and hear you say

How much you need me
The lines repeated day by day
But there’s something missing
So I turn the page, drift away

Chorus
Can I see what went wrong
I know I waited much too long
But it’s time to carry on
Time to carry on
…….Alone

I search the wall between us
To try and find an open door
You’re right here beside me
But I can’t reach you any more

How can I know for certain
I won’t be lost without your smile
There’s questions on the road ahead
But I have to take it for awhile

Chorus

It shouldn’t be this hard to love you
Trying to catch a spark out of thin air
Who knows someday I may find way again
And I won’t be surprised if you’re right there

Chorus

Empty eyes reveal you
I drop your hand and turn away
Feel the pain flow through you
But I turn the page, slip away
