  • I was running on an empty heart
    Not a trace of gasoline
    Trying to dim every single spark
    That could hurt, that could burn all of me
    Like a soldier on a battle ground
    Lying wounded on the field
    I was fighting along with the broken sword
    Now I'm caught in a war with no shield

    If you hold me now
    And leave me never
    Say you'll stay with me forever
    Then I surrender, surrender
    If you hold me now
    And leave me never
    Say you'll stay with me forever
    Then I surrender, surrender

    (Surrender, surrender)

    I pushed and pulled all the ones that try
    Then I watched them fade away
    As I look around a vacant room
    I see nobody left here to play
    'Cause I made myself a prisoner
    Shackled up by all my fears
    But I feel you breaking away, out the walls
    Make them fall, make them all disappear

    If you hold me now
    And leave me never
    Say you'll stay, with me forever
    Then I surrender, surrender
    If you hold me now
    And leave me never
    Say you'll stay, with me forever
    Then I surrender, surrender

    (Surrender, surrender)

    Hold me now
    And leave me never
    Say you'll stay, with me forever
    Then I surrender, surrender

    Then I surrender, surrender Writer/s: Alexander Makhlouf, Jean Paul Makhlouf, Julia Michaels, Lindy Robbins, Linus Wiklund, Phil Patterson, Samuel Frisch, Tal Meltzer
