Lyrics
Don't Give Up
How do you see when your eyes are closed, How do you see when you think you know
How do you do life when you're all alone and living in the dark
When no one remembers how to play when no one remembers it's a brand new day
How do you do life when you run away how do you do life that way
How do you know when you're out of gas, How do you know that you drive too fast
How do you do know you're livin' in the past if there's no one to show you
That you're tied to the mast, took your hand off the wheel
how do you do life when you just can't feel
How do you do life when you don't show up How do you do life when you're out of luck
How do you do life when you don't give a------------- -Damn
How do you do life if you've given up How do you do life
If you want a new life just show up
How do you do life with the things you bought, How do you do life when you're lost in thought
How do you do life with the things you were taught How do you do life if your mind is caught
In a world of make believe that you watch every evening when you see it on the news
And you don't have the energy left to choose to get up off the couch and turn it off
How do you do life when you pay their costs to bring you down,
How do you do life when run their machine, when you know that it's crazy and you just shrug it off and refuse to see,
How do you do life when you don't show up How do you do life when you're out of luck
How do you do life when you don't give a------------- -Damn
How do you do life if you've given up On the dreams that you once had, come on its not that bad It don't take much
If you want a new life, just show up. If you want a new life, just don't give up, If you want a new life, just don't give up, don't give up, don't give up.
if you want a new life just don't give up.
