And when the world got me going crazy
I'll carry on
And it's all because of you
Because of you
Remember when they told us
"You're not good enough"?
And then you came into my life
Yeah, you changing my world for good
Told me to love myself a bit harder than yesterday
Well, life is too short and we sure got to celebrate
And when the world got me going crazy
I carry on
'Cause I know I'm strong
When the world got me going crazy
I carry on
And it's all because of you
Because of you
Remember when they tried to break us?
Well, look at us now
You told me the right thing at the right time
Got me feeling wild
Now I love myself much more than I did yesterday
'Cause life' is too short and we sure got to celebrate
Hey, yeah
And when the world got me going crazy
I carry on
'Cause I know I'm strong
When the world got me going crazy
I carry on
And it's all because of—
I'll carry on despite of the things they said and done
They'll never kill this fire
Your love will take me higher
And it's all because of you
Because of you
Well, because of you
Because of you I keep on going, baby, baby, for a brighter day
And when the world got me going crazy
I carry on
See, I carry on because of you
When the world got me going crazy
I carry on [Said I carry on
And when the world got me going crazy
See, I will carry on
And it's all because of you
Because of you
Because of you
