I Won't Give In
Asking Alexandria Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in
If my heart could sing, would you stay?
Would you stay and listen?
Would you stay and listen?

If my soul was torn, would you help?
Would you try and fix me?
Would you help un-break me?

Your smile, it eats me alive
And I can't turn away any longer

Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in

Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in

I'm a ghost of what's left of me
Begging you to hear me
Can you even feel me?

I can't let you go, save me please
Will you stay here with me?
Will you ever leave me?

Your smile it eats me alive
I can't turn away any longer

Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in

Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in

I gave you everything
I never thought we would end up like this
I gave you everything
I can't let you go, save me please

I gave you everything
I won't give in
I gave you everything
I wont give in

Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself

I'll be your light in the darkness
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in

Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You're slowly killing yourself
I won't give in





I gave you everything
I never thought we would end up like this

Overall Meaning

The song "I Won't Give In" by Asking Alexandria is a powerful ballad that deals with the struggles of watching someone slowly destroy themselves. The lyrics speak to the pain and frustration of seeing someone you love slowly slipping away due to their own self-destructive tendencies. The repeating line "Every breath you take, I watch you slip away" drives home the sense of helplessness and fear that comes with watching someone you care about suffer.


The singer pleads for the other person to stay and listen to the cry of his heart. He asks if they would help if his soul was torn and if they would fix him if he was broken. This emphasizes the importance of human connections and how they can help someone heal from any kind of wound.


As the song progresses, the singer becomes more desperate, begging for the other person to save him and not leave him alone. He offers himself as a light in the darkness, promising to be there for his loved one no matter what. The final lines "I gave you everything, I never thought we would end up like this" reinforce the idea that love is a powerful force, but it can also be fragile, and sometimes we can lose ourselves while trying to save someone else.


Overall, "I Won't Give In" is a poignant and emotional song that explores themes of love, loss, and the struggle to overcome our own personal demons.
