Hold it up, my diamond in the ruff
i always thought that it would be so easy
let it out, its never like it was
i'm empty and tired and i can hardly think in here

i won't give up again
as tired as i am
with everything i can
i won't give up again

wake me up, my inspiration sleeps
my mind is like a prison
bound to hold me
force it out, the damage has been done
we're broken, too parted
and we can hardly speak in here
i won't give up again
as tired as i am
with everything i can
i won't give up again
i won't give up again

with thoughts of indecision
destroy but my ambition
removed to this position
i stand alone

i won't give up again, i won't give up again
i won't give up again, i won't give up again

hold it out, your candle in the dark
what doesn't kill you makes you stronger they say
let it go, it's all thats heaven so
you're older and wiser and you can hardly breathe in here
i won't give up again
as tired as i am
with everything i can
i won't give up again

i won't give up again, as tired as i am
with everything i can, i won't give up again
i won't give up again
