Carry On Without You

I said I didn’t know what I’d do without you
But I found I could go on
I guess that I was stronger than I thought
Cause I found I could go on

I could get up every morning
Eat my breakfast, iron my shirt
I could smile and say hello everybody
When I arrived at work

I could do a good impression of a man
Keeping it together
A single guy, savouring his freedom
Not almost at the end of his tether

Not a broken, empty shell
Not a tortured soul in Hell
Not a man whose life was robbed of any meaning
When you walked out the door
In pieces, mon amour
Since you walked out the door

I used to think I would be helpless if you left me
But still I carry on
I guess I must’ve had some deep reserves to draw on
Cause still I carry on

I still get up every morning
Stare my reflection in the face
Step by step I tell him, day by day
We can get out of this place

We can keep up this impression
Of a man who’s doing fine
Dreaming dreams and making long term plans
Not lost and lonely, killing time

Not a broken, empty shell
Not a tortured soul in Hell
Not a man whose life was robbed of any meaning
When you walked out the door
In pieces, mon amour
Since you walked out the door
