She was one of the early front-runners, way back from the auditions and in Hollywood Week. This even solidified with her well-lauded version of Mary J Blige's monster hit, "Be Without You".

But she has been judged for picking the wrong choice of songs for the past six weeks. She has also been called "karaoke" and "copycat". Though, she promised that she will internalize all the criticisms to her song choice and will really take them in.

I Surrender
Lil Rounds Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's so much life I've left to live and this fire's burning still
When I watch you look at me, I think I could find the will
To stand for every dream and forsake the solid ground
And give up this fear within of what would happen if they ever knew
I'm in love with you

Cause I'd surrender everything to feel the chance to live again
I reach to you, I know you can feel it too, we'd make it through

A thousand dreams, I still believe, I'd make you give them all to me
I'd hold you in my arms and never let go, I surrender

I know I can't survive another night away from you
You're the reason I go on and now I need to live the truth
Right now, there's no better time, from this fear I will break free
And I live again with love and, no, they can't take that away from me
And they will see, yeah

I?d surrender everything to feel the chance to live again
I reach to you, I know you can feel it too, we'd make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe, I'd make you give them all to me
I'd hold you in my arms and never let go, I surrender

Every night's getting longer
And this fire's getting stronger, baby
I'll swallow my pride and I'll be alive
Can't you hear my call, I surrender

I'd surrender everything to feel the chance to live again
I reach to you, I know you can feel it too, we'll make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe, I'll make you give them all to me
I'll hold you in my arms and never let go, I surrender

Right here, right now, I give my life to live again
I'll break free, take me, my everything I surrender all to you
Right now, I give my life to live again

I'll break free, take me, my everything I surrender all to you
Right now, I give my life to live again, I'll break free, take me
