Keep It Up

Album: Who Cares? (2022)

  • Every time I open my mouth
    I have regrets in my mind every time
    And no one seems to figure me out
    I guess it's stress
    It's making me feel so depressed
    Most my life I felt so tired
    But every now and then when I try
    I say

    Keep it up and go on
    You're only holding out for what you want
    You no longer owe the strangers
    It's enough, it's enough
    Keep it up and go on
    Yeah, you're only holding out for what you want
    I know that it's so frustrating
    It's enough, keep it up

    Now I'm here and I wish that I wasn't
    I'm in a place in front of a dozen
    People I've never met
    And I don't know if this is correct, uh
    I guess I'm blessed
    I never give myself respect
    Most my life I'm asking why
    But any time I give it a try, I say

    Keep it up and go on
    You're only holding out for what you want
    You no longer owe the strangers
    It's enough, it's enough
    Keep it up and go on
    Yeah, you're only holding out for what you want
    I know that it's so frustrating
    It's enough, keep it up

    Yeah, it's enough
    I've really had enough
    I've paid the price, I'm done, no

    Keep it up and go on
    You're only holding out for what you want
    You no longer owe the strangers
    It's enough, it's enough
    Keep it up and go on
    Yeah, you're only holding out for what you want
    I know that it's so frustrating
    But it's enough, keep it up

    (It's enough, it's enough)
    (Keep it up, keep it up)
