I know you're leaving. I don't believe it.
Don't you feel that love, and don't you need it?
I've been conceited and I've been defeated.
I have played that game and I won't repeat it.
No I am not giving up right now. I'm not giving up right now.
I won't give up believing that we'll always make it through somehow.
I'm not giving up right now, no, not right now.
I can't give up the feeling that we'll always make it through somehow...
Always make it through somehow.
Rolling over, not your shoulder,
Not you next to me. We must have closure.
See, I'm growing older, a rolling boulder.
It was meant for me, to give control up.
But I am not giving up right now. I'm not giving up right now.
I won't give up believing that we'll always make it through somehow.
I'm not giving up right now, no, not right now.
I can't give up the feeling that we'll always make it through somehow...
Always make it through somehow.
Not right now.
Not right now.
Holding on for today, anyway, anyhow.
Holding strong...not for long...not too late...not right now...
Holding on for today, anyway, anyhow.
Holding strong...not for long...not too late...not right now...
Hate the mornings, heed the warnings,
Read the signs ahead, and feel the longing..
Now, I’ve been mistaken, but you can't fake this.
They said to give it up, but no no I can’t take it.
No I am not giving up right now. I'm not giving up right now.
I won't give up believing that we'll always make it through somehow.
I'm not giving up right now. Not right now.
I can't give up the feeling that we'll always make it through somehow...
We'll always make it through somehow.
