lyrics

It was the quiet of the morning, and I had two thousand miles to go
But I felt nothing, no I was the night as it swallowed the road
So I keep on, yeah I keep on

It was the right time for leaving, because my hope outweighed my doubt
And I must keep believing, that any love that we had could help me out
So I keep on

And I paint my smile wide
And what I said were tears of joy, well they’re all just lies
Cuz I’m still that same old boy who’s lost inside
But I lost so much more, when I lost my way

Then it was the bright flash of winter, that woke all the thoughts inside my head
And they all tasted bitter, as I stoked all the flames that I had fled
So I keep on

And I paint my smile wide
And what I said were tears of joy, well they’re all just lies
Cuz I’m still that same old boy who’s lost inside
But I lost so much more…

And I hope these letters from exile don’t get lost along the way
Or get torn up and thrown away if they reach your hand
Cuz I cry nights
And the sting of your words, they hold me tight
They hold me tight, and they won’t let go

Then it was the quiet of the morning, when every ounce of strength that I had left had left me dry
It left with a warning, said any love that I had lost could still be mine
So I keep on, yeah I keep on
