Mama told me not to get involved
But I never did what I was told
Always drawn to the golden light
And it would happen every single night
Carry on, carry on, carry on
We were living by the Marlboro rule
Never talking to the jakes or turnin' up at school
And I'd pretend that I was fine enough
That I was never giving up
Carry on, carry on, carry on

And I saw my devil closing in
Never thought I'd do such bad things
You saved me though
Little by little love
And I try so hard to bury that stuff
Never thought I'd get so fucked up
You saved me though
Little by little love, Little by little love

Misbehaviour, clocking out reports
Where's your manners, where's the things you're taught
I said "What's your business with the things I do?"
You say "Boy, if you only had a clue"
Carry on, carry on, carry on
All them years and never thinking straight
In my own way I was lying awake
All my demons came whispering
Telling me carry on, carry on, carry on

And I saw my devil closing in
Never thought I'd do such bad things
You saved me though
Little by little love
And I try so hard to burry that stuff
Never thought I'd get so fucked up
You saved me though
Little by little love, little by little love
Little by little love, little by little love
Little by little love

And I saw my devil closing in
Never thought I'd do such bad things
You saved me though
Little by little love
And I try so hard to bury that stuff
Never thought I'd get so fucked up
You saved me though
Little by little love, little by little love
Little by little love, little by little love
Little by little love, little by little love
Little by little love, little by little love
Little by little love, little by little love
Little by little love
