Don't Give Up [ft. Y​.​A]

lyrics

Y.A
I closed my eyes and opened them and still felt in the dark
my thumbs twitched and my palms itched as I searched for a spark
I only felt alone, I only knew unknown
my heart was filled with hurting and that hurting felt like home
light dimmed, no light in, the darkness of my soul
my soul cried and I died as I tried to fill a hole
I tried to feel whole, in the pit of my sorrow
I only felt a nothingness that made me dread tomorrow
until I saw my shadow
and that meant that there was light
I wiped my eyes and dried my cries and that meant there, in sight
was a source like starts so bright
for I see now in my darkness
when you were shaken upset
when you only feel your heartache
you can only feel regret
in your emptiness your silhouette
marks an outline of the line between the light and the darkness
so in my darkest times
I began to see
that the light that I was looking for
was the light left on in me

See I know you’re tired and you feel like you’ve lost the light
see I know it hurts and you feel like you’ve lost the fight
but I know you know that inside you will be just fine
don't give up
it’ll be alright

I know you’re tired and you feel like you’ve lost the light
see I know it hurts and you feel like you’ve lost the fight
but I know you know that inside you will be just fine
don't give up
it’ll be alright

Looking for answers where I can’t find words
write them down
following the in crowd made me frown ‘cos when in crowds it’s hard to stand out
a million things to say I struggle every day
my dark has no light
its pitch, only notes are suicide, ripped
but when my light shines it’s so bright it shadows any doubt
if I could turn back time I’d tell me to be me
relentlessly, no apologies or backing down
fuck turning a frown upside down
I’m taking the world and turning it inside out
every turn topsy turvy all the hurt got me swerving
but every word keeps the fire burning
some days I’m tired and sick nothing ever seems to fit
I wanna quit but
I know it has to be ok
for in the end
there is no beginning
so
where do I start

I know you’re tired and you feel like you’ve lost the light
see I know it hurts and you feel like you’ve lost the fight
but I know you know that inside you will be just fine
don't give up
it’ll be alright
