Giving Up.

All the years that have passed, with the words never spoken.
All the dreams never dreamt and the lives that are broken.

Cold nights spent with your dead ex-boyfriend.
You Can't control the thoughts running through your head.
You drink away all the sorrow and heartache.
Living a lie you just can't break.

Feeling lost when you can’t step forward.
Breaking down when you think there's nothing else to live for.

Baby, giving up is nothing to hope for.
Look what you given life to.
Look at their dreams and look at their lives.
Think about how they’d feel without you.

Please don’t, don’t give up.
I need you, more than you know.
All tears that I cry are for you.
And all the prayers that I keep safe.

I need you more than anything now,
Please don’t leave me behind.
I can’t stand alone, without you by my side.

She struggles with alcohol abuse.
