"I’d go on" by Yonela Mtsi

I try to go on
Take one little step
Moving through the folds of life
With no map or direction

I try to sit still
Hold my back straight up
But how can I in this situation
No support to hold onto

I'd go on
Look straight ahead
But without you
Life just ain't worth living
I try to go on
But something is missing

I try to show you
But you're just not seeing
Look into my eyes
I'm not finding you anywhere

Where did you run off to?
Tell me where did you disappear?
You were holding my heart
And now it's shattered to pieces on the floor

I'd go on
Look straight ahead
But without you
Life just ain't worth living
I try to go on
But something is missing

Weren't you the one who said that
You'd never leave, you said that
With me till the end
You're mine and only mine

Well I kinda need you to be that now
But you're so off, lost in a distance
I'm reaching out
But finding a stranger's hand
Bring back my smile again

I'd go on
Look straight ahead
But without you
Life just ain't worth living
I try to go on
But something is missing
