In Her Own Words – Don't Give It Up lyrics

Don't give it up now
Start preparing for change
Boy don't be so afraid
Don't give yourself doubt
Cause you don't need it anyway

Let's take our time to find the answers
For every cut you just remember
The memories you're letting burn down
Will you leave me burning down?

I've thought this one out
And let's just say I've found the best in me
Come back to me
I've got a lot to show you about who I've become
I'll be good to my neighbors
And I'll tell them
To forgive and forget all the times when
I took life for granted
I can't help it
But I've made a change since I've been away from you

Erase the words that confine us now
Rewrite the chapters that stop and hold us down
Cause the truth is
Dear Lord, she got me singing whoa
Cause I can't fall asleep till you warm safe at home
And I can move on

C'mon and I've learned to let go
If you can promise me one thing
Don't lose yourself!
So free your mind from what's around you

Don't give it up now
We've been waiting for change
Boy don't be so afraid
Don't give yourself doubt
Cause you don't need it anyway

Cause you don't need me around to remind and revive all my caspers
I'm sorry for each time I caught fire
This is all so me last year
Burn our book and this bridge
We need to learn to begin
So let's leave our past in flames
Forget my name

I swear I'll be much better this time
Maybe this time...
I swear I'll be much better this time!

I've torn the walls that confined my eyes
Every piece that falls is more of me I find

Cause you taught me to read
You taught me to see
Your compassion, it means so much to me
Baby honestly
Because I
I've been so blind
Blind to these things
That everyone and everything
Means something to me
