Never Surrender
Skillet.RU - Skillet 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

I love how people in the comments get together to talk about their problems, it really shows that nobody is ever alone.
And that doesn't have anything to do with Skillet being a christian band or not, it's just how it works. Who cares if they are christian, there are always the good ones who accept other people's opinion and sexuality and then...well, there are the other christians...
To all the people with whatever the fuck disorder, I can't name all of them:
Keep going, guys. You're awesome.
Life may be hard as fuck sometimes, but who doesn't like a bit of a challenge, huh?
Huge respect to all the fighters out there.

Powerful lyrics

This song was played at my son's funeral...he was 44 years old living with Secondary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis, paralyzed from the waist down, blind in his right eye, and tremors so bad he could no longer feed himself or drink from a cup...This was one of his favorite songs...he just wanted to surrender and leave this life!
