Carry On Lyrics

And after all's been said and done
Who said it best, were you the one
Let's just forget, leave it behind
And carry on

If you should find the time to speak
Then speak to me, I'd never keep
You from your final destiny
So carry on

Into the quiet I am bound
What you have lost, I never found
I lost my nerve, yet peace surrounds
So carry on

Into the quiet I am bound
What you have lost, I never found
I lost my nerve, yet peace surrounds
So carry on

And after all's been said and done
Who said it best, were you the one
Let's just forget, leave it behind
And carry on
Let's just forget, leave it behind
And carry on

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.

The finale of a couple not meant for each other. She questioned his love for her. He struggled to accept he was in the relationship for the wrong reasons. Arguing this eventually consumed the relationship. Lack of resolution proved they weren’t meant for each other. Not being right or wrong. She finally figures this out.
