The reason I go on
is you.
The reason I stay strong
has always been you.
The need to live and carry on
is to keep you happy,
but ever since I messed up
and now he's your reason...
What's the reason to go on?
He has you.
You have him.
I have no one...
Alone and reckless is what I've been
since you found another reason to
Go on
Stay strong
Carry on.
Laying awake at night I can still smell
your perfume and feel your soft hair on my face.
Even though you're gone, you still taunt me.
He was better than I could ever be,
and now he even makes you happy.
The feelings I had for you are still insanely real.
Baby I love you but don't you see?
If you're with him and not me...
I don't have a reason to
Go on
Stay strong
Carry on.
You've been my dream for so long.
Now I wake to the nightmare where you're gone.
Everything I ever said was true.
You meant to me what I wish I still meant to you.
You're the center of my universe
but now that you're gone?
Spinning out of control; Nothing's balanced.
You were the reason for me to
Go on
Stay strong
Carry on.
But now that you're gone? Well...
I've lost my reason to live so,
What's the point?
