[INTRO]
Mm-mm-mm... mm-mm-mm...
Mm-mm-mm... yeah, yeah, yeah...

[VERSE 1]
I've been walking down this lonesome road
With a heart too heavy for my soul to hold
Every promise faded like the morning rain
And I swore to myself I'd never love again

[PRE-CHORUS]
But something deep inside won't let me go
A little voice that only my heart knows
Says hold on, hold on...

[CHORUS]
I won't give up on love, no not today
Though it's tossed me round and thrown me every way
The river's deep and wide but I'll cross that shore
I've been broken, baby, but I'll try once more
Won't give up on love... no, no, no
Won't give up on love

[VERSE 2]
I've seen the stars go dark behind the clouds
And heard my name get lost inside a crowd
Thought I buried every feeling six feet down
But love keeps pulling when you think that it can't be found

[PRE-CHORUS]
But something deep inside won't let me go
A little voice that only my heart knows
Says hold on, hold on...

[VERSE 3]
Now the nights grow cold and the wind blows mean
And I've lost my faith in the things I've seen
But a flower still can bloom in a field of stone
And love still finds you even when you feel alone

[PRE-CHORUS]
But something deep inside won't let me go
A little voice that only my heart knows
Says hold on, hold on...

[BRIDGE]
Oh I know what it feels like to fall
To stare at the ceiling and feel nothing at all
But the sun doesn't ask if it's worth shining through
It just rises every morning like I'm rising for you
Oh... oh... oh yeah
So I'm rising, I'm rising, I'm rising again

[VERSE 4]
I've seen good people drown in their own tears
And watched the bravest hearts surrender to their fears
But courage isn't never feeling the pain
It's standing at the door and knocking again and again

[PRE-CHORUS]
And something deep inside won't let me go
That little voice that only my heart knows
Says hold on, hold on...

[VERSE 5]
So if you're out there somewhere lost like me
Still trying hard to find what love could be
Take my hand and walk this road a while
Every heartbreak's just a step toward the smile

[PRE-CHORUS]
Let something deep inside refuse to go
That little voice that only your heart knows
Just hold on, hold on...

[OUTRO]
Mm-mm-mm... won't give up...
No, no, no... won't give up on love...
Mm-mm-mm... hold on, hold on...
