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



(Chorus)

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 hell right now but give it time

may this lesson learned be your best

love's not worth the risk and don't forget



(Chorus)

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

carry on...carry on..

I don't ever wanna hurt like that again
