To be completely honest It scares me to imagine What life would be without you And for this very reason I ask you to forgive me For what I'm putting us through Although there are so many things Against us, I've decided That I'm not giving you up, no Thinking back, I see what we have Is 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'll find a way to be 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, no Screaming in the silence the promises we've spoken Come back to haunt me, false and broken Quiet desperation to see we're lost forever Searching for water in the desert No, I refuse to have to do Without your kisses I'm not giving you up, no, no No, I'm not giving you up, no Not giving you up
