Story Behind The Song
This is a song about watching someone change because of a horrible influence, but not being able to say anything for many reasons. People become addicted and used to bad things all the time and it's how they can't see outside of it because they are so deep in it.
Song Description
Won't Go On is about a relationship that's doomed because one person can't see clearly, due to drugs or whatever other addictions they have. It's about watching someone you love change into another person because they're under the influence of drugs or another person who is doing them harm.

Lyrics
Won't Go On
Don't You Ever
want something more for yourself
more than you've got
a fool now and for so long
in the end what have you lost
I dare you to say
I won't go on this way
I won't go on this way
this way
'Cause the way you want it
is the way he'll never be
don't you see that
he's all made of pain
but you tried anyway
it's the wrong day
but show me
show me a little smile
your backwards in thinking
awkwardly covering ground
through mud and the sand
I see now, you're crying
tears run down your face
I dare you to say, I won't go on this way
I won't go on this way yeah, this way
I won't go on this way, this way
cause' the way you want it
Is the way he'll never be
Don't you see that
He's all made of pain
but you tried anyway
it's the wrong day
show me
show me a little smile
like you used to
like I know you can
just for, just for a little while
Remind me
Remind me
Show me, show me a little smile
I won't go on this way...
