[Verse 1]

Who's gonna cut the rope?

Who's gonna say their piece?

Who's gonna wreck this home?

Who'll be the first to leave?

[Chorus]

Carry on, carry on

What do you say when your chance is gone?

Fair enough, fair enough

How do I drain all of this bad blood?

[Verse 2]

I do the best I can

Balancing on the edge

I'll cover up your eyes

I'll keep you safely blind

[Chorus]

Carry on, carry on

What do you say when your chance is gone?

Fair enough, fair enough

How do I drain all of this bad blood?

[Chorus]

Carry on, carry on

What do you say when your chance is gone?

Fair enough, fair enough

How do I drain all of this bad blood?

[Bridge]

I'd tell you the truth

If you had nothing to lose

It cuts me straight to the bone

I cover up 'cause I know what he's doing to you

I've carried the weight

I came so far to protect you

He pushed me into the fire

I kept you out of the flames

I did what I had to do

[Outro]

I'd tell you the truth

If you had nothing to lose

My hands are over your eyes

I'll keep you safe, keep you blind

What would you say if you knew?
