He walked outside her world the other day
She knew that he would leave eventually
Like the rest he promised everything
She's heard it all before they never stay

Let your heart beat idle so that it can never break
And carry on, carry on
So you'll never have to hurt again
Walking as a loner is like walking with the dead
So carry on, carry on my friend

Wipe away the tears and don't you cry
It hurts like [bad word] right now but give it time
May this lesson learned be your best
Love's not worth the risk and don't forget

Let your heart beat idle so that it can never break
And carry on, carry on
So you'll never have to hurt again
'Cause walking as a loner is like walking with the dead
But carry on, carry on my friend
