Keep Something Inside Lyrics by Phil Cooper

Thoughts & Observations

2018

You’ve given everything away and there’s nothing left to say
When you feel your life is drifting away from you
It doesn’t seem to do much good
Doing all the things you think you should
And everything you want keeps on passing you by

Looking up towards the sky with a waterfall in every eye
And the weight of the world is resting upon you now
It’s resting upon you now
Well don’t take it all… Don’t take it all

Don’t take the problems of the world upon your shoulder
I know it seems as if this life is getting colder
You’ll burn out, if you hand out everything
Just keep something inside and hold on

Every word you ever said. Every feeling you misread
This heavy load is close to breaking your back
Still you try to carry on and every moment that is gone
Is faded time that you will never see again
You’ll never get it back
So don’t waste it all… So don’t waste it all

Don’t take the problems of the world upon your shoulder
I know it seems as if this life is getting colder
You’ll burn out, if you hand out everything
Just keep something inside and hold on

It burns you up like you’re in hell craving for a padded cell
Just a little madness to let it all out somehow

Don’t take the problems of the world upon your shoulder
I know it seems as if this life is getting colder
You’ll burn out, if you hand out everything
Just keep something inside and hold on
