We Can’t Go on Songtext

von Jan Johansen

I went for heaven with a hungry heart
Turned out wrong from the start
Short for words, attempt to hold you close
That's the way it goes
Knowing that you're already gone

We can't go on like we do
Me and you
Through the motions
Can't go on everyday,
There's no way
No devotion
Feel i must go on
Like a rolling stone
Knowing no battle's been won

I closed my eyes, wished I'd understand
Everything got out of hand
Deprived of faith, tried to stand my ground
But soon lost, when you're around

Now I know what's keeping me down
So down

Can't go on like we do
Me and you
Through the motions
Can't go on everyday,
There's no way
No devotion
Feel i must go on
Like a rolling stone
Knowing no battle's been won
Feel I must go on

Don't know if I'll hold you tonight - oh no

Can't go on like we do
Me and you
Through the motions
Can't go on everyday,
There's no way
No devotion
Feel i must go on
Like a rolling stone
Knowing no battle's been won - oh no!

(fading)
Can't go on like we do
Me and you
Through the motions
Can't go on everyday,
There's no way
No devotion
