Lyrics
The pain in my heart?
some days it won?t go away.
No end from the start?
and this just won?t fade away.
My favorite thing is just when you think I?m holding on,
everything slips?away.
But I?ll keep on going
?cause I can?t go back from here.
So keep on, move it on, and don?t look back again.
A broken heart...
is like the angel?s face
in ?Wings of Desire?.
Can?t have what he?d like to taste!
Just when I think I?m gathering dust and folding up
a wind comes along?
So rise and you?ll keep on going
?cause you can?t go back from here.
So keep on hanging on and don?t look back again. (repeat)
I?m back again.
And so far I?ve stayed awake.
One passive resists?
and all will be good as new.
And just when you thought I?d given it up
I?m going on this way.
You ought to know by now that I?ll just
Rise and I?ll keep on going
?cause I can?t go back from here.
So keep on, move it on,
And I won?t look back again.
