Badly Drawn Boy - I'll Carry On Lyrics

I tried so hard but in the end I let you down
You always will be with me
I will wear your crown
A time so brief from cradle to the grave
I feel like giving in but for you I know I must be brave
And carry on, carry on
Just for you, I'll carry on

They said that I could hold you for a little while
Just time to kiss those lips that one-day would make a smile
I don't know what was going through my mind
To find the kind of strength that you should never have to find
To let you go
Let you go, letting go, letting go

In the time we had, I blessed him with your name
Now that he is gone this life won't be the same
I ask of you to help me carry on
If you ever need a reason, let this reason be the one
To carry on, carry on
Just for you, I'll carry on
Carry on, carry on
Just for you, I'll carry on
