I know you're sinking deeper
every breath a straining gasp
And I know you're wishing
please death
just make this breath my last
but there's life out there for living
my friend we will not give in
take these words and let the light in
we'll give you everything
worth giving
I heard a story from a friend
about you just last night
about you swinging by your neck
there in the softly fading light
man you've gotta call you've
gotta write you've gotta leave
get back to all your friends and
all the places you should be
You're too lonesome man
I get it
I've been there once before
I know you're sinking deeper
every breath a straining gasp
And I know you're wishing
please death
just make this breath my last
but there's life out there for living
my friend we will not give in
take these words and let the light in
we'll give you everything
worth giving
I've sailed the stormy seas
I've felt my heart rise
in my throat
I've thought of leaving all my
friends and thought of letting go
but I found life left in these
limbs and found the strength
to start again
I found my heart right in my hands
and found relief in all my friends
Don't Give Up
Don't Give Up
But I found life left in these
limbs and found the strength
to start again
I found my heart right in
my hands and found relief
in all my friends
but there's life out there for living
my friend we will not give in
take these words
and let the light in
we'll give you everything
I know you're sinking deeper
every breath a straining gasp
And I know you're wishing
please death
just make this breath my last
but there's life out there for living
my friend we will not give in
take these words and let the light in
we'll give you everything
worth giving
