I walk the streets uncertain of what I was searching for
Woah
She stands alone in silence,
I see that she's been hurt before
And every step a chance to lose the past and breathe again
But we pretend we're soldiers,
cold-hearted tools of war
Heaven knows we cry
Heaven knows we try
Heaven knows I've lied to myself
And I'm better off alone It's the only way that I'm known
To get along for this long Weak heart keeps my head strong
So the man that I pretend to be Is in a field with destiny
And kept me from what's best for me And left me alone
And all the make-up she can buy Can't seem to find a way to hide
The way she felt the day she cried inside
But somehow we carry on I'll tell myself just one more drink I'll
be fine We'll carry on
She'll share her feelings with her pillow each night
We'll carry on And we'll pretend that everything is alright
Till the sandcastles crumble and the toy soldiers die
We'll carry on Lay in my bed just staring at the pictures
on the wall I tell myself don't care but I can hardly
sleep at all Cause every song that plays on the radio
Reminds me that you're gone and that it's
over My bridge burned and my heart's on
But Heaven knows we cry Heaven knows we try
Heaven knows I've lied to myself And I'm better off alone
It's the only way that I'm known To get along for this long
Weak heart keeps my head strong So the man that I pretend to be
Is in a field with destiny And kept me from what's best for me
And left me alone And all the make-up she can buy
Can't seem to find a way to hide The
way she felt the day she cried inside
But somehow we carry on I'll tell myself just one more drink
I'll be fine We'll carry on She'll share her feelings with her pillow
each night We'll carry on And we'll
pretend that everything is alright
Till the sandcastles crumble and the toy soldiers die We'll carry on
I'll be fine You'll never know
If you heard me you'll know That I'm lonely,
oh no
I'll find my smile A thousand miles beneath
is the strength that I need to carry on
I'll tell myself just one more drink I'll be fine
We'll carry on She'll share her feelings with her pillow
each night We'll carry on
