Feels like I'm fighting a losing battle
Trying to figure out how I win
Praying for forgiveness at the chapel
Lord please forgive me for my sin

I'm trying to recover, I'm trying to discover
What I must have done to you to make me feel this way
I'm trying to uncover, I'm trying to discover
Trying to find a way to not make these same mistakes

I'm not giving it up for you
I'm not giving it up for me
Cause I will make you see another side of me
And I refuse to set you free
I'm not giving it up for you
I'm not giving it up for me
Cause you will always be the better part of me
What will it take to make you see?

I'm sorry for what I did to make you lose your passion
If I could take it all back then it never would have happened
Tell me what's the matter girl, I think you lost your dream
And it's driving me insane please tell me what you mean
If I don't know where I went wrong or try to put it in a song
Or bring myself to write out all my feelings on the page
I'm getting ready for the fall cause I can't fight it anymore
Are we too broken to ever really be the same?

I'm trying to recover, I'm trying to discover
What I must have done to you to make me feel this way
I'm trying to uncover, I'm trying to discover
Trying to find a way to not make these same mistakes

I'm not giving it up for you
I'm not giving it up for me
Cause I will make you see another side of me
And I refuse to set you free
I'm not giving it up for you
I'm not giving it up for me
Cause you will always be the better part of me
What will it take to make you see?

I remember a time when we were happy and we didn't even care
I can't think about a future without you being there
I know all your weaknesses, how it kills you to be mad at me
I'm sorry that I took the apple growing from forbidden trees
How can I ever live a life without you by my side
You're the only reason that I breathe, the reason I'm alive
I'm burdened by the thought of you that haunts me in the night
How can I just let you go? Why can't I help the fight?

I'm not giving it up for you
I'm not giving it up for me
Cause I will make you see another side of me
And I refuse to set you free
I'm not giving it up for you
I'm not giving it up for me
Cause you will always be the better part of me
What will it take to make you see?

(I'm not giving it up)
