These words don't come easy
They spit from my lips
Then we never had it easy
It slipped from our fingertipsWhen we met, you laughed at me
And stole my last cigarette
Said you wanted to share a past with me
Tomorrow's the day to forget
And you saidJust give me a reason
To carry on, to carry on
Just give me a reason
To carry on, to carry onNow I've come unhinged
I'm a door in a frame
Well, I'm never quite closed
But I ain't open to changeSo my knuckles are bruised
From knocking on wood
Well, it's a trick that I've used
Perhaps more than I should
And I saidJust give me a reason
To carry on, to carry on
Just give me a reason
To carry on, to carry onCause 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 heartMix your words with fire
I'll let them burn me down
Let them ring in the air
Like the bells of an old mining townJust give me a reason
To carry on, to carry on
Just give me a reason
To carry on, to carry onJust give me a reason
To carry on, to carry on
Just give me a reason
To carry on, to carry onJust give me a reason
To carry on, to carry on
Just give me a reason
To carry on, to carry onJust give me a reason
To carry on, to carry on
I just want a reason
To carry on, to carry on
