Can I Go On? Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lose it? Lose it?
I don't even know the first thing
About what they're feelin'
What am I afraid of?
Don't know what I'm made of

[Chorus]
Can I go on not knowin'?

[Verse 2]
Feelin'? Feelin'?
Something tells me that it's more than I can deal with
Though I never knew the song
Some words still catch on
Like carin' and sharin'
Being together no matter

[Chorus]
Can I go on not knowin'?

[Outro]
Don't know what I'm made of
Why am I afraid of feelin'? Feelin'?
If I dare to take a chance
Would someone lead me?

  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
