Carry On
Ashanti · Chapter II
i never thought that i would see it
now theres holes in my walls and theres glass on the floor
and you sed you didnt mean it
you went from zero to none in these past three months
on your level of affection
i aint gonna be that girl who cries herself to sleep
puttin up with your rejection cause
CHORUS 2x
i cant carry on...living life like this
this cant be what it is
i dont wanna live my life like this
when i try to make sense out of what we have
i always fall into depression
because i know in my heart that we've both grown apart
aint no use in us pretendin
we never talk on the phone, and you're never at home
and if you are theres always tension
i aint gonna be that girl that ends up stayin
sittin around and just regrettin cause
CHORUS 2x
i cant carry on...living life like this
this cant be what it is
i dont wanna live my life like this
im tired of fighting, im tired of spiting, my life is a strom full of raining and lightning
my insides are pleasing from all of this screaming
sometimes i just feel like im no longer breathing
i look in your eyes all i see is a demon, im tired of wearing my heart on my sleeve and
i just dont know why i stay cause day after day i continue to say
CHORUS 2x
i cant carry on...living life like this
this cant be what it is
i dont wanna live my life like this
