  • Trouble is her only friend and he's back again
    Makes her body older than it really is
    And she says it's high time she went away
    No ones got much to say in this time
    Trouble is the only way is down, down, down

    As strong as you were
    Tender you go
    I'm watching you breathing
    For the last time
    A song for your heart
    But when it is quiet
    I know what it means
    And I'll carry you home
    I'll carry you home

    If she had wings she would fly away
    And another day God will give her some
    Trouble is the only way is down, down, down

    As strong as you were
    Tender you go
    I'm watching you breathing for the last time
    A song for your heart
    But when it is quiet
    I know what it means
    And I'll carry you home
    I'll carry you home

    And they were all born pretty
    In New York City tonight
    And summers little girl was taken from the world tonight
    Under the stars and stripes

    As strong as you were
    Tender you go
    I'm watching you breathing for the last time
    A song for your heart
    But when it is quiet
    I know what it means
    And I'll carry you home

    As strong as you were
    Tender you go
    I'm watching you breathing for the last time
    A song for your heart
    But when it is quiet
    I know what it means
    And I'll carry you home

    I'll carry you home Writer/s: James Blunt, Max Martin
