Time, it opens all wounds And trust, gonna put me in the tomb The world isn't mine The world isn't mine to save I can't afford to lose What you easily throw away And I don't even know myself, What it would take to know myself I need to change, I don't know how Don't give up on me now It's not what we do, it's what we do with what we feel Takes all you have to stare it down, and whisper "Devil, no deal." And I don't wanna fight, don't wanna fight my father's war You can wait your whole life Not knowing what you're waiting for And I don't even know myself, What it would take to know myself I need to change, I don't know how Don't give up on me now, don't give up on me now Don't give up on me now, don't give up on me now Don't give up on me now, don't give up on me now And I don't even know myself, What it would take to know myself I need to change, I don't know how And I don't even know myself, What it would take to know myself I need to change, I don't know how Don't give up on me now
