I'll Carry On

Badly Drawn Boy

I tried so hard but in the end I let you down

You always will be with me

I will wear your crown

A time so brief from cradle to the grave

I feel like giving in but for you I know I must be brave

And carry on, carry on

Just for you, I'll carry on

They said that I could hold you for a little while

Just time to kiss those lips that one-day would make a smile

I don't know what was going through my mind

To find the kind of strength that you should never have to find

To let you go

Let you go, letting go, letting go

In the time we had, I blessed him with your name

Now that he is gone this life won't be the same

I ask of you to help me carry on

If you ever need a reason, let this reason be the one

To carry on, carry on

Just for you, I'll carry on

Carry on, carry on

Just for you, I'll carry on
