These words don't come easy   They spit from my lips   But then we never had it easy   It slipped from our fingertips      When we met, you laughed at me   And stole my last cigarette   Said you wanted to share a past with me   That tomorrow's the day to forget   And you said      Just give me a reason to carry on   To carry on   Just give me a reason to carry on   To carry on      Now I've come unhinged   I'm a door in a frame   Well I'm never quite closed   But I ain't open to change      So my knuckles are bruised   From knocking on wood   It's a trick that I've used   Perhaps more than I should   And I said      Just give me a reason to carry on   To carry on   Just give me a reason to carry on   To carry on      Cause 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 heart      Oooohhhhhh      Mix your words with fire   I'll let them burn me down   Let them ring in the air   Like the bells of an old mining town      Just give me a reason to carry on   To carry on   Just give me a reason to carry on   To carry on      Just give me a reason to carry on   To carry on   Just give me a reason to carry on   To carry on      Just give me a reason to carry on   To carry on   Just give me a reason to carry on   To carry on      Just give me a reason to carry on   To carry on   I just want a reason to carry on   To carry on
