don’t give up on me now

Time, it opens our wounds
And trust, gonna put me in the tomb
The world isn’t mine
The world isn’t mine to save
I can’t afford to lose
What you easily throw away

I don’t even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change, I don’t know how
Don’t give up on me now.

It’s not what we do
It’s what we do with what we feel
Takes all you have to stare him down
And whisper, “Devil, no deal”
I don’t want to fight
Don’t want to fight my father’s war
You can wait your whole life
Not knowing what you’re waiting for

I don’t even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change, I don’t know how
Don’t give up on me now.
