Emeli Sandé
Don’t Give Up
[Verse 1: Skam]
Look at me now
I'm at this crossroad, don't know how to cross though
Don't even know if I wanna cross yo
I'm at a point in my life where nothing is certain
And I gotta think before I act

Think about every move I'mma make, every move could be the last, and the last could be a mistake
I'm suicidal, living in my own misery without company
I gotta think fast, do I pull over the trigger

Or do I step away once again, I've been here before and I probably stand here again
Ever since I've given up, people help me back up
But I don't wanna stand up, help me, I'm giving up
But I don't want no help, I do this by myself

But don't believe me when I say it
Everythings gonna be just fine, quit lying to myself
What's coming after that, cus

[Chorus: Emile Sandé]
'Cause when you've given up
When no matter what you do it's never good enough
When you never thought that it could ever get this tough
Thats when you feel my kind of love (x2)
[Verse 2: Skam]
Home is where you find peace
That's why I wanna drink myself to sleep
All my life I wanted nothing but compliments
Now I rather sit at home, drinking six bottles of vodka and lose consciousness

Pass out on the floor every night, hoping I'll never wake up again, Cus I live in a nightmare, living off well-fare
Got two jobs to pay the rent, stuck on a shitty job
I don't wanna live my life like this, in a lie like this

I wanna sleep tight in nights like this, fuck a life like this
Everythings going wrong, thinking bout words for the song
And think about what heaven's like, or should I go to hell
Damn, thought I heard my mother yell, but I haven't heard her voice in awhile, "Damn son, another F you ain't gonna be successful" But I'mma be a rapper so fuck it!

[Chorus: Emile Sandé]
'Cause when you've given up
When no matter what you do it's never good enough
When you never thought that it could ever get this tough
Thats when you feel my kind of love (x2)
