Don't Give Up On Me
Buick Audra Lyrics

I've had better days than this one,
There have been days where I felt happier than I do today

And I've had so many worse,
But there were also days that were worse than this one

Oh memory,
Memory, please help me remember the things that are important

Don't fail me now,
Don't let my memories slip away from me

I know all I need to set me free,
I have everything I need to overcome my current challenges

Lives somewhere inside me,
The answers I seek are within myself

Sweet clarity,
I have achieved a moment of mental clarity

I'll make it through somehow,
I believe I will find a way to persevere

I've been calling out the names,
I have been blaming other people for my difficulties

Of everybody I can blame,
I am searching for someone to hold responsible for my troubles

Cause I've been losing my own fights,
I have not been successful in overcoming my personal struggles

I've been going down the line,
I have been facing my troubles in a repetitive and unproductive way

Just wasting so much precious time,
I have been spending too much time on things that do not matter

And I can see now,
I realize

That ain't right,
That is not the right approach

But don't give up on me, not just yet,
Please do not abandon me. Give me more time.

I'll get back on my feet, I'll take the steps,
I will find a way to recover and move forward

I'm learning how to believe in myself,
I am learning to have faith in my own capabilities

Each time you come a little closer,
Every time I make progress,

I keep pushing you away,
I struggle to maintain that progress

We're getting nowhere, this I know,
I realize that we are not making any progress

There was a time when we reversed the roles,
There was a time when I was more capable than I am now

The stronger one was me,
I used to be able to overcome my difficulties more easily

Now we're not movin',
I feel stuck and unable to move forward

We stop and go,
My progress is inconsistent

I envy ordinary people with their ordinary lives,
I am envious of those who have a more mundane and predictable existence

I envy anyone who doesn't lie awake half of the night,
I am jealous of those who can fall asleep easily and do not deal with insomnia

With just one ordinary dream,
With just one simple goal

They could never get quite right,
They are still struggling to achieve that goal

It's such an ordinary plight,
This is a common and relatable problem

But it's mine,
But I am dealing with it in my own way

All mine.
This challenge is my own and no one else's.
