Lyrics
Carry Me
So I heard you were alone again, don't wanna say I told you so
My words, they never did sink in, a habit you picked up long ago
You're falling apart, and I know why
I watched from the start girl and, I...
Watched you walk away from me, like a mother watches every child go
Don't expect one ounce of sympathy, from this crazy world to your wandering soul
You're falling apart, and I know why
I watched from the start girl and
So goes the story of man and his fate,
We'll always be lonely, 'cuz we'll always waste
It all on what leaves us, high and dry
Now I'm falling apart girl and, baby I...
I'm begging you, yeah this is my plea
To stop watching me trek through the same rut and start carrying me
You're watching me die, ever so slowly. You got me wondering, where did I go wrong?
