these words don t come easy they spit from my lips but then we never had it easy it slipped from our fingertips when we met you laughed at me and stole my last cigarette said you wanted to share a past with me that tomorrow s the day to forget and you said just give me a reason to carry on to carry on just give me a reason to carry on to carry on now i ve come unhinged i m the door in a frame well i m never quite closed but i ain t open to change so my knuckles are bruised from knocking on wood well it s a trick that i ve used perhaps more than i should and i said just give me a reason to carry on to carry on just give me a reason to carry on to carry on cause a heart is just a heart it can break and fall apart it can bleed and stop and start cause a heart is just a heart ooh ooh ooh mix your words with fire i ll let them burn me down let them ring in the air like the bells of an old mining town just give me a reason to carry on to carry on just give me a reason to carry on to carry on just give me a reason to carry on to carry on just give me a reason to carry on to carry on just give me a reason to carry on to carry on just give me a reason to carry on to carry on just give me a reason to carry on to carry on i just want a reason to carry on to carry on
