Not Giving Up

  • Went through three winters, three summers
    Thinking that you're gonna return
    My friends said it over and over
    "Gotta stop holding on to her"
    I went through fire and rain
    Every moment I thought you called
    There was nothing to gain
    How did I get the blame for it all

    Feels like I could never let you go
    'Cause it just intensifies the pain
    I wish there was a way to let you know
    That being without you is not the same

    So I'm not giving up on love
    You know our history
    Girl, we were meant to be
    Why should I give you up, my love
    It was you and me
    Now I'm left with nothing

    Do you remember the flowers I sent
    They don't grow in September, you know
    You said you didn't feel love
    You know better girl, but that was the story you told
    You said that you tried and you tried
    You kept telling that lie to yourself
    What you feel you can't hide
    You won't find it in nobody else

    Feels like I could never let you go
    'Cause it just intensifies my pain
    I wish there was a way to let you know
    Being without you is not the same

    So I'm not giving up on love
    You know our history
    Girl, we were meant to be
    Why should I give you up, my love
    It was you and me
    Now I'm left with nothing

    So I'm not giving up on love
    You know our history
    Girl, we were meant to be
    Why should I give you up, my love
    It was you and me
    Now I'm left with nothing

    Giving up on love
    You know our history
    Girl, we were meant to be
    Why should I give you up, my love
    It was you and me
    Now I'm left with nothing
