; (keep on going)
(Verse 1)
You‘re the perfect friend
But you can’t seem to mend
There’s always something
That one dumb thing
That illness fighting you
Think you wont get through
It may seem easier to die
But you just can’t deny
That it won’t be any better
If you leave into the sky
By jumping of a ladder
(Refrain)
So try to keep on going
Fight for yourself and stop throwing
Yourself away
Someday it will be better
So please don’t jump of that ladder
And keep on going
(End Refrain)
So keep on going
For us
(Verse 2)
You try to keep it a secret
But you know that you can’t keep it
There will be one knowing
Just by looking and hoping
That you will heal but in the end
I’m afraid she shatters as she tries to help you mend
(Refrain)
So try to keep on going
Fight for yourself and stop throwing
Yourself away
Someday it will be better
So please don’t jump of that ladder
And keep on going
(End Refrain)
So keep on going
For life
(Bridge)
How could a mindset
Destroy a person’s life?
How could it be a combined net
That keeps you captured
Keeps you fractured
‘Til healing seems impossible?
(Refrain)
So try to keep on going
Fight for yourself and stop throwing
Yourself away
Someday it will be better
So please don’t jump of that ladder
And keep on going
(Outro)
Keep in mind that this is mold
Was never your fault
It‘s mindset you can’t change
So tell us, keep damage in range
Please keep on going
Keep on going
(End)
Keep on going
For you
Because we love you
You‘re the perfect friend
But you can’t seem to mend
There’s always something
That one dumb thing
That illness fighting you
Think you wont get through
It may seem easier to die
But you just can’t deny
That it won’t be any better
If you leave into the sky
By jumping of a ladder
(Refrain)
So try to keep on going
Fight for yourself and stop throwing
Yourself away
Someday it will be better
So please don’t jump of that ladder
And keep on going
(End Refrain)
So keep on going
For us
(Verse 2)
You try to keep it a secret
But you know that you can’t keep it
There will be one knowing
Just by looking and hoping

I’m afraid she shatters as she tries to help you mend

So try to keep on going
Fight for yourself and stop throwing
Yourself away
Someday it will be better
So please don’t jump of that ladder
And keep on going

Keep on going

Keep on going
For you

Author's Note
i wrote (and actually sung) this (my first!) song a couple of years ago, back when i was so overwhelmed with a mental illness that was diagnosed in my dear friend. we were young, and i didn’t know what it was, what it meant or how i can help without being triggered myself. i‘m still not doing perfectly well, but it gets better, and she’s getting so much better :)
