Never Surrender
Skilletā Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're scared to see yourself
Do you know what it's like when
You wish you were someone else
Who didn't need your help to get by
Do you know what it's like
To wanna surrender
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
(never surrender)
Do you know what it's like when
You're not who you wanna be
Do you know what it's like to
Be your own worst enemy
Who sees the things in me I can't hide
Do you know what it's like to wanna surrender
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
Make me feel better
You make me feel better
You make me feel better
Put me back together
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
Put me back together
Never surrender
Make me feel better
I need to feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender

Certainly but you hear the sadness
Cold world (cold world), cold world (mmm, yes it is, yeah)
And the ones that you keep close are the ones will take you down
(always take you down)
Cold world (cold), a cold cold world
'Fore I surrender to you, (surrender) surrender to you (surrender)
Surrender to you, surrender to you
'Fore I surrender to you, (surrender) surrender to you (surrender)
Surrender to you, surrender to you
Which I will never do
Thats tough! For all the homies locked up, dead or struggling.... solute. Make it out!
