I'm Not Giving Up - Patrick Murphy

To be completely honest It scares me to imagine What life would be without you And for this very reason I ask you to forgive me For what I'm putting us through Although there are so many things Against us, I've decided That I'm not giving you up, no Thinking back, I see what we have Is something different I think we've known all along So how fair would it be To divide this love's existence Between what's right and what's wrong And you, always wondering if we'll make it Time will tell you That I'm not giving you up, no, no We'll find a way to be together However long it takes, wherever If it means having you for only a moment A moment just might be enough I'm not giving you up, no No I'm not giving you up, no Screaming in the silence, the promises we've spoken Come back to haunt me, false and broken Quiet desperation to see we're lost forever Searching for water in the desert No, I refuse to have to do Without your kisses I'm not giving you up, no, no, no We'll find a way to be together However long it takes, wherever If it means having you for only a moment A moment just might be enough I'm not giving you up, no, oh no No I'm not giving you up, no Not giving you up

This room barely alive From all the ghosts we have I witness in your eyes We may have nothing left What is the meaning of? The lies we tell as truth One thing I'm certain of Is that I've little more to lose Well faith means little if We have no where to stand This wound is deeper now And I'm a broken man You held your words. A knife The weapon armed again But I'm not walking from Our dream it grows as I begin Giving up. Not giving up. Giving up I used to feel us so on fire And now I feel heat for the truth With every flame of my desire I'm not giving up on you How love can teeter on The edges of a blade On either side it waits The light and darkness play I am not banking on A simple twist of fate I'm on a holy war And how the battle ends today

The good lady said she's waiting for me She's up on her bed as high as she can be She's grooving to the sound of the music is all I'm up in her room with silver and gold The good lady said it's time to free my soul She's grooving to the sound of the music is all If you want me to stay child I can be the port from the storm outside and I... Just wanted to say child That I'm not giving up tonight The beautiful truth is harder to find The good lady said that I should pay no mind Keep dancing to the sound of the music Slow dancing to the sound of the music No matter how far wherever I roam The good lady said she's gonna guide me home Keep dancing to the music is all... If you want me to stay child I can be the port from the storm outside and I... Just wanted to say child That I'm not giving up tonight If you want me to stay child I can be the port from the storm outside and I... Just wanted to say child That I'm not giving up tonight If you want me to stay child I can be the port from the storm outside and I... Just wanted to say child That I'm not giving up tonight I'm not giving up tonight I'm not giving up tonight I'm not giving up tonight

Won't you smile, you look so shocked Put the name tag on your smock We've come to see you, Eddie Walker We may pack a little tight, the girl up front says, it's alright And look there's more of us still getting off the bus We wish you'd come back home with us Eddie Walker, this is your life This ones you when you were small And you're learnin' how to walk They'd pick you up and you keep falling down There you are with Aunt Louise, you're bouncing on her knees Remember all those trees behind the garden They're gone, oh, they all got cut down when she died Eddie Walker, this is your life, you never had a son or a wife You sure had a hell of a time, oh, Eddie Walker, this is your life This one's you and Mary Jo Well, she couldn't come, she says, hello No, Eddie Walker and she doesn't hate your guts It's just the whole thing's shook her up How they picked you up and you kept falling down Eddie Walker, this is your life, no, Eddie Walker, this is your life You never had a coat or a tie, you never had a reason to cry An' this whole stack and all of these Are just a mist or overseas We're gonna leave you, Eddie Walker
