Adrielle Bow Belle - Carry On Lyrics

Had a couple of dollars
And the clothes on my back
When I left all I knew in the rearview
I don't miss you, ain't got no regrets
Tried to bring me down
Didn't break me yet, so
I lost you to find me
I can write my own story
2000 miles away
On a 747 Jet Plane, one-way
In a world full of strangers
We cover our battle scars
We're all waiting on something
To change everything
We are the ones who come up from nothing
Don't got nobody we go
Out on the road on our own
Never comin' home
I'm never gonna turn back now
Gotta bag packed
Late-night leaving out the house
And I got used to living under your fist
Took all the pain from the punches you hit
But I feel it in my bones
Down in my soul I know
I gotta let you go
Carry on
Keep on, keep on
Carry on
Keep on, keep on
Don't need you
I choose me
No place to go
But I had to be free so I
Was afraid, but I left anyway
With nowhere to stay
But I kept on fighting
Oh they don't know you
Behind closed doors you
Won't hurt me no more
I'm gone
I'm gone
Keep on keeping on
Carry on, carry on
We are the sinners and saints
Every lost girl and boy
Born to a mother and father
Who never wanted the noise
We are the bastard daughters
And sons-of-bitches
We know they say that mother knows best
But they ain't never met no
Mutha' like you
And that's L-O
L-O-V-E
X and O
Forever yours
Sincerely
I am the one that you wouldn't take
Manila folder full of mistakes says
I'mma always be a runaway
Homeless-foster-kid- throwaway
Yeah, I'm never gonna change and
You're never gonna save me
I'm never gonna turn back now
Gotta bag packed
Late-night leaving out the house
And I got used to living under your fist
Took all the pain from the punches you hit
But I feel it in my bones
Down in my soul I know
I gotta let you go
Carry on
Keep on, keep on
Carry on
Keep on, keep on
Don't need you
I choose me
No place to go
But I had to be free so I
Was afraid, but I left anyway
With nowhere to stay
But I kept on fighting
Oh they don't know you
Behind closed doors you
Won't hurt me no more
I'm gone
I'm gone
You're only gonna get stronger then
(never let em break ya)
Wanna throw in the towel but you can't
And you won't
You got fire in your veins
There's a light inside ya babe
Never let 'em take it
I'm never gonna turn back now
Gotta bag packed
Late-night leaving out the house
And I got used to living under your fist
Took all the pain from the punches you hit
But I feel it in my bones
Down in my soul I know
I gotta let you go
Carry on
Keep on, keep on
Carry on
Keep on, keep on
Don't need you
I choose me
No place to go
But I had to be free so I
Was afraid, but I left anyway
With nowhere to stay
But I kept on fighting
Oh they don't know you
Behind closed doors you
Won't hurt me no more
I'm gone
I'm gone
Keep on keeping on
Carry on, carry on
