to be completely honest, it scares me to imagine
where life would be without you
for this very reason, I ask you to forgive me
for what, I'm putting us through
although there's so many things against us
I've decided that I'm not giving you up, no no

thinking back I see that we have
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 find a way to keep 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

screaming in the silence
the promises we've spoken
come back to haunt me, false and broken
quiet desesperation to see we've lost forever
searching for water in this desert, no
I refuse to have to do without your kisses
so I'm not giving you up, no no

no I'm not giving you up, no
no I'm not giving you up, no...

not giving you up
