They say, “Slow down, baby”

“You don’t have to fight this hard”

But they don’t see these late nights

Talking to the ceiling in the dark

Hands shaking on my phone

Drafting every doubt I never send

I’m tired of being almost

I’m tired of “maybe in the end”

Never surrender

I say never give up

They say “let it go, it’s better”

But surrender comes with cost

You pay the price in pieces

Of the dreams you never touch

Never surrender

I say never give up (ohh)

Never, never, never give up

They smile like they know me

Say “some doors just stay closed”

But they weren’t there the first time

I was counted out and rose

Every “no” I ever swallowed

Burning like a fire in my chest

If I lay my hope down now

What’s the point of all the rest?

Never surrender

I say never give up

They say “let it go, it’s better”

But surrender comes with cost

You pay the price in pieces

Of the dreams you never touch

Never surrender

I say never give up (ohh yeah)

Never, never, never give up

Yeah, I know it hurts tonight

But pain fades, glory stays

If I bend, I won’t break

I’m still standing in the flames (hey!)

If I lose, I lose trying

That’s a promise to myself

I’d rather fail while I’m flying

Than be safe on some shelf

Never surrender

I say never give up

They say “let it go, it’s better”

But surrender comes with cost

You pay the price in pieces

Of the dreams you never touch

Never surrender

I say never give up (ohh t)

Never, never, never give up
