Keep Up Lyrics

I walk alone down this city street
Tears in my eyes that you know aren’t me
No more baby, no more pain
I’m tired of fighting every single day

I’m trying to keep up
But this love has got me down
I’m trying to keep up
But my shoes are losing ground
I’m trying to keep up

I tried to bandage my sorrows in a song
What use is a chorus if you ain’t here to sing along
My life is so empty without your face
Too much to hide, I miss the wonder of your grace

I’m trying to keep up
But this love has got me down
I’m trying to keep up
But my shoes are losing ground
I’m trying to keep up

I’m trying to keep up
But this love has got me down
I’m trying to keep up
But my shoes are losing ground
I’m trying to keep up

It hurts to hear that some one else in your life
Do you think about me when you’re turning out his lights
I lay here in darkness trying not to cry
Cause I know you’re smiling with someone else tonight

I’m trying to keep up
Trying to stay tough now

I’m trying to keep up
Trying to stay tough now

I’m trying to keep up
Trying to stay tough now

She Doesn't Know

I walk alone down this city street
Tears in my eyes that you know aren’t me
No more baby, no more pain
I’m tired of fighting every single day

I’m trying to keep up
But this love has got me down
I’m trying to keep up
But my shoes are losing ground
I’m trying to keep up

I tried to bandage my sorrows in a song
What use is a chorus if you ain’t here to sing along
My life is so empty without your face
Too much to hide, I miss the wonder of your grace

I’m trying to keep up
But this love has got me down
I’m trying to keep up
But my shoes are losing ground
I’m trying to keep up

I’m trying to keep up
But this love has got me down
I’m trying to keep up
But my shoes are losing ground
I’m trying to keep up

It hurts to hear that some one else in your life
Do you think about me when you’re turning out his lights
I lay here in darkness trying not to cry
Cause I know you’re smiling with someone else tonight

I’m trying to keep up
Trying to stay tough now

I’m trying to keep up
Trying to stay tough now

I’m trying to keep up
Trying to stay tough now

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Love this song, but its kinda sad... I love the expendables and their music as it is generally so upbeat, but when I found the lyrics to this song I was surprised to see its about a break up or something. But I love it!
