stages

Nick Carter

Last song, the crowd keeps calling
but striving through the night
Ten thousand miles away and just trying to find some time
Too far away to reach you, across the great divide
So when the music calls and keeps me far away
I know you re always here with me

So I keep singing
With every song, I play for you the story of my life
With the love I have inside
I keep singing with every note and every word I write
Maybe one day you ll know why I sacrifice
Will you look back on the stages of my life?

Baseball and birthday parties
You re happy, young, and free
You grow much too fast
And I m staring at a screen
Those nights around the table
My favorite memories
So if you re ever lost and trying to find your way
Just know you re always here with me

So I keep singing
With every song, I play for you the story of my life
With the love I have inside
I keep singing with every note and every word I write
Maybe one day you ll know why I sacrifice
Will you look back on the stages of my life?

I m hiding what I m feeling, it s breaking me inside
Without you here beside me, I feel time slipping by
But when I m thinking of you, I know I need to try
So I will carry on and go down every road
Cause you ll always be my home

So I keep singing
With every song, I play for you the story of my life
With the love I have inside
I keep singing with every note and every word I write
Maybe one day you ll know why I sacrifice
Will you look back on?

So I keep singing
With every song, I play for you the story of my life
With the love I have inside
I keep singing with every note and every word I write
Maybe one day you ll know why I sacrifice
You gave me strength, you gave me reason to survive
But you don t ever have to ask the question why
When you look back on the changes of my life
