Don't give up on me

I know I’m not easy I’ve got edges, I’ve got scars,

I build up my defenses, then pray you’ll reach my heart.

Some days I disappear, lost in the dark I see,

But through it all, I whisper… please don’t give up on me.

I don't have the words to say it right,

But I need you to stay through the fight.

Don’t give up on me when I’m breaking down,

When I can’t speak, but need you around.

If I shut the door, don’t let it be,

Come closer don’t give up on me.

I’m not giving up, I’m just scared to fall,

But your love’s the one thing that breaks down the wall.

So even when I drown silently…

Please, don’t give up on me.

I’ve been through storms I never told,

Carried weights too big to hold.

I try to smile, I try to cope,

But sometimes I’m just out of hope.

I don't have the words to say it right,

But I need you to stay through the fight.

Don’t give up on me when I lose the light,

When I push you away in the middle of the night.

If I seem cold, I’m just trying to be free

Of the fear that you'll stop loving me.

I’m not walking out, I just need to see

That you still won’t give up on me.

You’re the reason I’m still trying,

The voice that keeps me from denying.

So if I run, run after me,

If I break, stay patiently.

Don’t give up on me not now, not ever,

Let’s face this world, scared but together.

I’m holding on, just silently…

So please…

Don’t give up on me.
