The Minute I Give Up

the minute I give up

you will feel it in your bones

like a door left open

in a house that’s full of cold

I keep my word

I keep my place

when the floor falls out

I still stay

I saw the fear

standing in your eyes

but I held the line

I held it all this time

the minute I give up

everything goes quiet

the minute I give up

you’ll hear the whole world deny it

but I won’t fold

I won’t run

I’ve been here too long

I’m not done

the minute I give up

you’ll know, you’ll know

the minute I give up

I let you go

but I will never give up

I will always be there

the minute I give up

he will take you never

I’ve got your back

like a scar on my skin

been through the black

and I’m still stepping in

if your name gets heavy

I’ll carry it too

if the night gets hungry

I’ll stand between and move

I don’t say forever

I say right now

and right now means

I’m not backing down

the minute I give up

everything goes quiet

the minute I give up

you’ll hear the whole world deny it

but I won’t fold

I won’t run

I’ve been here too long

I’m not done

the minute I give up

you’ll know, you’ll know

the minute I give up

I let you go

but I will never give up

I will always be there

the minute I give up

he will take you never

If I get tired

I get stronger

If the dark comes close

I stand longer

Say my name

when it gets hard

I’ll be that line

I’ll be that guard

the minute I give up

you’ll know, you’ll know

the minute I give up

I let you go

but I will never give up

I will always be there

the minute I give up

he will take you never

the minute I give up

I won’t let go

the minute I give up

I’ll be the road

but I will never give up

I will always be there

the minute I give up

he will take you never
