(Intro) ......... I used to think I was the only one. Trapped in a cycle I couldn't break. I'm telling you this because I was where you are, and I want you to know you can make it out too. Hmmmmmm (Verse 1) Yea.... the days just run together, they feel the same. I pushed everyone away, no one to blame. Stuck in this room, yeah, watching the walls, Didn't wanna listen to anything at all. Just my own devastation trying to survive, No longer wanting to be alive. Every night was just another lie, A desperate silence, a reason to cry. (Verse 2) The drugs were the only thing that calmed my brain, Washing away all the sorrow and the pain. I was so lost, trying to ruin myself, A battle I fought alone, without any help. I stood at the edge, a final thought, But that's not the life I was ever taught. A life of faith and purpose, and I was on the brink, It took a moment for my heart to truly sink. (Pre-Chorus) I've been lost in the darkness, too, The world telling me that I'm through, yeah. But I made it back, and so can you. (Chorus) Don't give up, you're not alone. Don't give up, just have hope. It's hard to see the light, oh, oh... But we'll make it through this night. Don't give up, you have a friend. No, don't give in, this isn't the end. (Verse 3) And then a voice cut through the static noise, Not a memory, but a true voice. It said, "You are more than all you've lost, Your life is a gift, a promise of light." I took a breath I'd been holding so long, And finally decided to sing this song. I started to believe in something real, And I finally started to truly feel. (Verse 4) I walked outside, I just had to get out, Reached for a real hand, had so much doubt. It wasn't about a person to blame, It was about finding a higher name. I found God, and I found a path to believe, And I finally had a reason to breathe. I found a new peace I'd never known, And I felt a love that's been shown. (Pre-Chorus) I've been lost in the darkness, too, The world telling me that I'm through, yeah. But I made it back, and so can you. (Chorus) Don't give up, you're not alone. Don't give up, just have hope. It's hard to see the light, oh, oh... But we'll make it through this night. Don't give up, you have a friend. No, don't give in, this isn't the end. (Verse 5) Now the quiet in this room doesn't feel so deep, It's a space where a peaceful soul can sleep. My devastation is no longer my guide, I'm no longer drowning in the ocean inside. I can see a future and I have a friend, With a love that will never end. A bond of trust that is true, With real friends who helped me through. (Bridge) My life's not over, no, it's not done, The real fight has only just begun. I'm putting the ruin behind me, I know that now, 'Cause I'm not that same person, no, not anymore, somehow. With God on my side, I am finally free, With real friends I can finally be me. (Verse 6) Yeah, the world still has its weight, I know, But I'm not afraid to let it show. I am not running, I am not hiding anymore, I am finally closing that open door. I've been pulled from the ground, yeah, now I can stand, With my feet on the dirt, a future in my hand. I am not lost, I've been found, And this life right here is my solid ground. (Pre-Chorus) I've been lost in the darkness, too, The world telling me that I'm through, yeah. But I made it back, and so can you. (Chorus) Don't give up, you're not alone. Don't give up, just have hope. It's hard to see the light, oh, oh... But we'll make it through this night. Don't give up, you have a friend. No, don't give in, this isn't the end. (Outro) Don't give in... We'll make it through the night. You're not alone. Just have hope.
