[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?
