[Instrumental Punk Rock with high guitar pitch riffs] [Verse 1 - Somber tone] I know your staring over there In your mind your asking why do I care? You see me stand with these bloodshot eyes You wonder why I'm not here crying Through your eyes and soul you want to know Why am I full of holes? [Instrumental] [Verse 2 - Upbeat tone] I'm stabbed to hell, I want to fall Yet defiant I stand, I will stand tall I maybe empty on the outside But what lies within is a burning fire from inside From the inside out I hold on to hope Just for those who don't... (Don't give up on hope) [Pre-Chorus] I hold on for you (you) I hold on for me (me) I hold on for the day (day) I hold on just to see... (Hope) [Chorus] I've been backstabbed, I've been shot I've been laughed at, I've been mocked But I don't care what they do Because no matter what I won't give up on You, your friends, your family who have Surrendered the hope and dreams that they slept on It's never too late to keep going on And I never ever will give up (On you, your friends, your family too) (But do you believe in me?) [Interlude - Increase tempo and drum beats] With the damage that stains The holes that pierce my name (I remain) I remain For those who give up on the fight I will hold your hand through the light Because I won't... [Pre-Chorus] Give up on you (I WON'T!) Give up on your hopes (I SWEAR!) The dreams you have (THEY WONT GO) Will not go up in smoke (NOOO) [Chorus] I've been backstabbed, I've been shot I've been laughed at, I've been mocked But I don't care what they do Because no matter what I won't give up on You, your friends, your family who have Surrendered the hope and dreams that they slept on It's never too late to keep going on And I never ever will give up [Outro] Never give up (No don't give up!) I've been backstabbed, I've been shot I've been laughed at, I've been mocked But I don't care what they do Because no matter what I won't give up on You, your friends, your family who have Surrendered the hope and dreams that they slept on It's never too late to keep going on And I never ever will give up [Outro] Never give up (No don't give up!) Never ever give up (Your dreams are worth it) You are worth it...
