In Her Own Words Don't Give It Up
Don't give it up now,
Start preparing for change
Boy don't be so afraid.
Don't give yourself doubt.
Cause you don't need it anyway
Let's take our time to find the answers.
For every cut you just remember.
The memories you're letting burn down.
Will you leave me burning down?
I've thought this one out
and let's just say I've found the best in me,
come back to me.
I've got a lot to show you about who I've become.
I'll be good to my neighbors
and I'll tell them
to forgive and forget all the times when
I took life for granted.
I can't help it,
but I've made a change since I've been away from you.
Erase the words that confine us now.
Rewrite the chapters that stop and hold us down.
Cause the truth is
Dear Lord, she got me singing whoa
Cause I can't fall asleep till you warm safe at home.
And I can move on.
C'mon and I've learned to let go
If you can promise me one thing
Don't lose yourself!
So free your mind from what's around you.
Don't give it up now,
We've been waiting for change
boy don't be so afraid.
Don't give yourself doubt
cause you don't need it anyway.
Cause you don't need me around to remind and revive all my caspers.
I'm sorry for each time I caught fire
This is all so me last year.
Burn our book and this bridge.
We need to learn to begin
So let's leave our past in flames.
Forget my name.
I swear I'll be much better this time.
Maybe this time...
I swear I'll be much better this time!
I've torn the walls that confined my eyes.
Every piece that falls is more of me I find.
Cause you taught me to read.
You taught me to see,
your compassion, it means so much to me.
Baby honestly,
because I
I've been so blind,
blind to these things.
That everyone and everything
means something to me.
