[Verse 1] Well I was caught inside the wreck Never found my way out, I was filled with indifference The animals, they were getting tired So I sang them a song, cause they promised not to take too long But I can't find my way back home I'll listen to you if you want me to But you have to share a smoke Yeah I've been running against the wind And I can hear the angels calling The madness has been pulling me Right back out my stride I feel the change in the rise and tide And blood is in the room And I buried all my wrongs there with my youth [Hook] (Don't give up on me now) I'm on the outside (Don't give up on me now) And I'm falling apart Wooh yeah [Verse 2] Pleased to meet you excuse my hands I've been bitten by an enemy that's pretended to be my friend No I never wanted to be like them I thought I was just too clever to be brought down to their level Of misfortuned chagrin Well I don't care about what it's worth But if you lift this burden off my back I'll follow you to the bloody end I've lived my life the way I want But no one can tell me they're not afraid of the freedom of deliverance Will I take it all in stride I feel the change in the rise and tide Someone's in the room I buried all my guilt there with my youth [Hook] (Don't give up on me now) And I'm on the outside (Don't give up on me now) But it's warm on the outside (Don't give up on me now) That's a lie, I don't wanna fall apart Oooh [Verse 3] Yeah, well me, I've been afraid I clawed and I fought like hell The darkest days upon you Yeah, well, me? I've gone astray, my blood was turning to sand The darkest days upon you Yeah, well me, I've been afraid that the numbness was getting closer The feverish days upon you
