Manafest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

VERSE I

BREAK THE HABIT BREAK MY ACTIONS
TAKE THE PAIN DEAR GOD I’M ASKING

GIVE ME A HALL PASS GIVE ME JUST ONE
ONE MORE CHANCE I’M A OUT RUN
THE DEVIL CAN’T DANCE I GOT A GUN
POINTED AT HIS HEAD CLICK, CLICK, AND DONE

THE GIANT IN ME SLAYED & EMPTIED
THE GOD OF ENVY YOUR JUST A MEMORY

PRE-CHORUS
IT’S NEVER TOO LATE
CAN’T STOP ME NOW

IT’S NOT TOO LATE
LOVE HOLDS NO BOUNDS

I STARTED TO FAINT
IN A FOG OF DOUBT

HIT ROCK BOTTOM
THEN I CAME AROUND

CHORUS

YOU BUILD ME UP
WHEN I BREAK DOWN

YOU TAKE MY HAND
WHEN I’M ALONE

YOU PULL ME OUT
WHEN I FALL IN

YOU HEAL THE SCARS
BENEATH MY SKIN


I WON’T GIVE UP
I WON’T GIVE UP

VERSE II

BURN IT DOWN KICK THE ASHES
I WEAR A BADGE DID A LOT OF ASKING

ASK MYSELF AM I REALLY DONE
KICK MY MYSELF STOP ACTING DUMB

IF I’D A KNOWN ID NEVER LEFT
STUPID, STUPID SHOULD A BEEN DEAD

I TOOK A STAND HELD MY TONGUE
SPIT MY THORNS AND LEARNED TO LOVE

I GOT THE NERVE GOT MY AIM
A CHILD OF GOD GOT A HOLD OF ME

PRE-CHORUS
IT’S NEVER TOO LATE
CAN’T STOP ME NOW

IT’S NOT TOO LATE
LOVE HOLDS NO BOUNDS

I STARTED TO FAINT
IN A FOG OF DOUBT

HIT ROCK BOTTOM
THEN I CAME AROUND

Chorus]
I won't give up
(8x)

[Verse 1]
Break the habit, break my actions
Take the pain, God I'm askin'
Gimme a hall pass, gimme just one
One more chance, Imma outrun
The devil can't dance, I got a gun
Put it to his head, click click and done
The dying in me, slaid and empty
The god of envy, you're just a memory
It's never too late, can't stop me now
It's not too late, love holds no bounds
I start to faint and I'm fallin' down
I hit rock bottom then I came around
[Pre-Chorus]
You build me up when I break down
You take my hand when I'm alone
You pull me out when I fall in
You heal the scars that leave my skin

[Chorus]
I won't give up
(8x)

[Verse 2]
Burn it down, kick the ashes
I wear a [?] did a lot of askin'
Ask myself am I really done
Kick myself, stop actin' dumb
If I had known, I'd never left
Stupid, stupid, should've been dead
I took a stand, help my tongue
Spit my thorns and I learn to love
Got the nerve, got the [?]
Gotta God got a hold of me
It's never too late, can't stop me now
It's not too late, love holds no bounds
I start to faint and I'm fallin' down
I hit rock bottom then I came around

[Pre-Chorus]
You build me up when I break down
You take my hand when I'm alone
You pull me out when I fall in
You heal the scars that leave my skin

[Chorus]
I won't give up
(8x)

[Bridge]
Won't give up
Get up one more time
Escape this sleepless night
I'm walkin' to the light
Leave it all behind
If I could get up one more time
Leave it all behind
Walkin' to the light

[Pre-Chorus]
You build me up when I break down
You take my hand when I'm alone
You pull me out when I fall in
You heal the scars that leave my skin

[Chorus]
I won't give up
(8x)

If you don't give up on God he won't give up on you, follow his teachings and you'll find the true elixer of life.

God never gives up on us; not even if we have given up on him.
