you carry on
sad but true
everyone here goes down with you
my favorite song i'll make due
running away from everything new
from everything new

who are we to say
that all things should go away
who will stay for my soul

it's black and white
clear as day
why everything right never comes my way
take a deep breath and look around
i'm close to the edge
looked for what i have found
can't stop me now
you can't hold me down

who are we to say
that all things should go away
who will stay for my soul

you carry on
once more it's true
above and beyond
i expect from you
nothing old, everything new
for once i belong here
for once i came through
you take me
closer to when i
believed in myself
when it was worth a try
why can't you reach me
this can't be true
we can't we start over
with everything new

who are we to say
that all things should go away
who will stay for my soul
