I Won’t Give Up
Jason Mraz Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you′ve come so far
To be right where you are
Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I′m still looking up
And when you′re needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
′Cause even the stars, they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No, I won′t give up
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I′m here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences, they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
And in the end you're still my friend, at least we did intend
For us to work, we didn't break, we didn′t burn
We had to learn how to bend, without the world caving in
I had to learn what I got and what I′m not
And who I am
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I′m giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
I′m still looking up
Well I won't give up on us (no, I′m not giving up)
God knows I'm tough, he knows (I am tough, I am loved)
We got a lot to learn (we are alive, we are loved)
God knows we're worth it (and we′re worth it)
I won′t give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I′m still looking up
When I look into your eyes
When I gaze deeply into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
It feels as though I'm observing the vastness of the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Or witnessing the breathtaking beauty of a sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
There is a multitude of emotions and experiences they convey
And just like them old stars
Similar to those ancient stars
I see that you've come so far
I can perceive the tremendous progress you have made
To be right where you are
In order to be in the exact place you currently occupy
How old is your soul?
What is the depth of your inner being and wisdom?
Well, I won't give up on us
I will not abandon our relationship
Even if the skies get rough
Even in times of difficulty and uncertainty
I'm giving you all my love
I am wholeheartedly expressing my love to you
I'm still looking up
Despite challenges, I maintain a hopeful perspective
And when you're needing your space
When you require solitude and independence
To do some navigating
To explore and find your own path
I'll be here patiently waiting
I will remain here, exhibiting patience and understanding
To see what you find
Curious to witness the discoveries you make
'Cause even the stars, they burn
Because even celestial bodies experience burning and fading
Some even fall to the earth
Sometimes stars descend to the ground
We got a lot to learn
We have much knowledge to acquire
God knows we're worth it
Divinity recognizes our value
No, I won't give up
No, I will not surrender
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I desire to avoid being someone who easily abandons
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
I am committed to remaining and creating a meaningful impact
Our differences, they do a lot to teach us how to use
The contrasting aspects between us have much to teach about their utilization
The tools and gifts we got yeah, we got a lot at stake
We possess various abilities and talents, and there is much at risk
And in the end you're still my friend, at least we did intend
Ultimately, you are still my friend, as we originally intended
For us to work, we didn't break, we didn't burn
In order for our relationship to thrive, we did not fracture or ignite
We had to learn how to bend, without the world caving in
We needed to understand how to be flexible without succumbing to overwhelming pressures
I had to learn what I got and what I'm not
I had to comprehend both my strengths and limitations
And who I am
And understand my true identity
Well, I won't give up on us (no, I'm not giving up)
I will not abandon our relationship (no, I am determined)
God knows I'm tough, he knows (I am tough, I am loved)
Divinity recognizes my resilience (I possess strength, and I am loved)
We got a lot to learn (we are alive, we are loved)
We have much knowledge to acquire (we are living, we are cherished)
God knows we're worth it (and we're worth it)
Divinity recognizes our value (and we deserve it)
I won't give up on us
I will not abandon our relationship
Even if the skies get rough
Even in times of difficulty and uncertainty
I'm giving you all my love
I am wholeheartedly expressing my love to you
I'm still looking up
Despite challenges, I maintain a hopeful perspective

My boyfriend and I had lots of ups and downs since we were 15 years old. Everybody was telling us we were too young to recognize love. Both of our parents think that-- mostly my parents. They were worried it would affect my studies and not finish college. So when this came out we related to this song and this has been our song ever since. Last year was the hardest year in our relationship. We couldn't get past a week without arguing. We were both tired of just about everything that's happening. We both forgot how to communicate. We couldn't understamd what each other was saying. He was about to go to another country for work and I believed at that time we couldn't survive the distance. We were constantly arguing when we were together, so I thought what more when we're far away from each other. We talked a few days before his flight. We gave up trying to understand the other. We were just finishing what we ordered in the cafe and I was planning to go home. I nearly finished my order when suddenly he said something under his breath "out of all the days..." I asked him "What?" And he just looked at me smiling with soft eyes saying "Nothing." After a few seconds I knew what he was talking about. On the speakers of the cafe was this song playing. And I just broke down and he started crying. We didn't care if people were staring at us. Listening to this song in that cafe at that exact moment brought up all that we've been through and how we got past all of it. After the song, we just looked at each other and decided to talk more about our problems. We talked for hours until our tears dried out. At the end of the night we decided to work things out. I believe God sent this song at that moment to give us a sign and remind us of our promise to not give up even if the skies get rough. It's our 10th anniversary today. ❤️ Years ago we planned to have our wedding today. but we couldn't due to financial reasons and also him being in another country for work.
UPDATE: We now have a kid ❤️
