Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, it's time to start the show
Lost my heart and lost my soul
Now it's the time that you won't know
Lost my mind and lost my goal

Mm, not giving in
I'm not giving in
Not giving in
Ooh, I'm not giving in, yeah

This time I'm gonna be stronger, I'm not giving in
This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in

Waste my time which makes things worse
Lost in mine, my love is cursed, mm
Time to make these things feel right
Mm, let's start this show for one last time

Oh, I'm not giving in
Ooh (not giving in) not giving in, oh yeah
Let me tell you no, not giving in
Not this time (not giving in)
Not gonna give it in, woo

This time I'm gonna be stronger, I'm not giving in
This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in

No, not giving in
Not giving in (this time I'm gonna be stronger, I'm not giving in)
I'm gonna be stronger (this time I'm gonna be stronger, I'm not giving in)
I'm gonna be stronger

This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in
This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in
This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in

(I'm gonna be stronger) this time, I'm gonna be stronger, I'm not giving in
This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in
This time I'm gonna be stronger, no, I'm not giving in





This time I'm gonna be stronger, I'm not giving in

If people become aware that electing the wrong people into the most important government position is affecting their day to day lives, that's the first step.
