Don't Give Up on Your Love
Glen Burtnik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't give up on your love
You gotta hold onto something when the going gets rough. Don't give up on your love
Everybody crying in their pillow,
Looking for a place to hide
Everyone's afraid to face the truth inside; inside the heart
This storm ain't gonna last forever.
I know you can make it, so pull yourself together.
Don't give up on your love
Everybody looking for a mother, looking for a place to cry
Everyone's afraid to face the love inside; inside the heart
Lotsa people talking, trying to tell you what to do.
Don't give up on your love
They like to listen to themselves,
But they don't even have a clue.
Don't give up on your love
Everybody looking for a leader, looking for a place to hide
Everyone's afraid to face the man inside; inside the heart
Everybody looking for an answer,
Looking for the bottom line
Everyone's afraid to face the truth inside; inside the heart
Hard times ain't gonna last forever.
Don't give up on your love
I know we can make it, if we put our heads together. Don't give up on your love
These lyrics by Glen Burtnik in the song Don't Give Up on Your Love are meant to uplift and encourage anyone who is going through tough times in their life. The first two lines acknowledge the difficulties that one may face, but the refrain encourages the listener to hold onto their love and not give up. The idea is that when times get rough, love and holding onto it can be what keeps one going.
The following lines talk about how everyone has their struggles and internal battles, but no one wants to confront them head-on. The storm may seem never-ending, but the chorus reassures the listener that it won’t last forever and that they can make it if they hold onto their love and pull themselves together.
The other verses highlight how people may offer unsolicited advice, but it doesn't necessarily mean they know what's best for the listener. The song encourages everyone to look within themselves rather than seeking solutions from the outside. Ultimately, the song is about resilience, hope, and holding onto love during tough times.
