You were my closest friend, my strength in days gone mad But I spent my time in shallow sheets, I should've seen your hand I didn't see the signs, was blinded by the lights Now I'm lost where I belong I thought that we'd grow old, give kids our bad advice Now I'm alone, you went and left me with these sleepless nights You took my warmth and soul, left me with doubt and cold Is this where I belong? Gone are the days of young, better run for cover There's no one here to save you from yourself when you'll discover You don't know how to carry on Gone are the days of young, better run for cover When everything you love is lying six feet under You don't know how, but you carry on These days are longer now, my nights spent wondering why And I get mad inside, did you fight back or even try? You didn't see the signs, so blinded by the lights You lost where you came from We're not so different, we grew up once and more But I found it easy cause I left my morals at the door You took an honest heart, I watched it fall apart You lost before you started Gone are the days of young, better run for cover There's no one here to save you from yourself when you'll discover You don't know how to carry on Gone are the days of young, better run for cover When everything you love is lying six feet under You don't know how, but you carry on You don't know how Gone are the days of young, better run for cover There's no one here to save you from yourself when you'll discover It's hard, you don't know how to carry on Carry on Carry on Carry on
