My Life
Anouk · Together Alone
I'm gonna get out of my shell
Try without anybody's help
To loose this heavy load
And get my life back on the road
I've seen the worst when I was down
Only loneliness I found
Now I'm climbing to the top
And I ain't never gonna stop
I'll carry on, though the road is long
I'm gonna get myself together
And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong
Gonna try to make it better, baby
The rest of my life I'll take these chances
Time goes by so very fast
I'll share my fortune and my failure
'til there's nothing left
And if somewhere down the line
I'll find I'm running out of time
I hope to god that I can say
I made the best of every day
'Til then I'll carry on, 'though the road is long
I'm gonna get myself together
And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong
I'm gonna try to make it better, baby
The rest of my life I'll take these chances
Time goes by so very fast
I'll share my fortune and my failure
'til there's nothing left
Try without anybody's help
To loose this heavy load
And get my life back on the road
I've seen the worst when I was down
Only loneliness I found
Now I'm climbing to the top
And I ain't never gonna stop
I'll carry on, though the road is long
I'm gonna get myself together
And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong
Gonna try to make it better, baby
The rest of my life I'll take these chances
Time goes by so very fast
I'll share my fortune and my failure
'til there's nothing left
And if somewhere down the line
I'll find I'm running out of time
I hope to god that I can say
I made the best of every day
'Til then I'll carry on, 'though the road is long
I'm gonna get myself together
And I'll hold on, 'cause I am strong
I'm gonna try to make it better, baby
The rest of my life I'll take these chances
Time goes by so very fast
I'll share my fortune and my failure
'til there's nothing left
