I wanted to give up

I'm done with all the things I'm going through

I'm trying to keep my head up

I try to win but every time I lose

Should be getting better

I try, I try but I don't know what to do

Hope this ain't forever

I just want to make a breakthrough

But something inside said, "Never give up"

All of these setbacks are major set-ups

If I keep on fighting

If I keep on trying

If I aim for the sky

One day things will go my way

I've got to hang in there

Deep down I know one day things will change

I can't live in fear

I know I've got to push through the pain

I've got believe in myself, mhmm yeah

If it's not me, then no one else will

But something inside said, "Never give up"

All of these setbacks are major set-ups

If I keep on fighting

If I keep on trying

If I aim for the sky

One day things will go my way

I can't give in

I can't give up

Today could be my day

I can't give in

I can't give up

Everything can change

I won't give in

I won't give up

Today could be my day

I won't give in

I won't give up

One day things will go my way
