I put the cart before the horse
Counted diamonds in the dark
Serenaded painted ladies
Silver bullets in my gun
Drank the wine swore I'd resist
Sweat through dreams of scarlet lips
Survived extraordinary circumstances
The Devil cracked a grin
Why can't we live for one another?
Why don't we hold each other up?
I won't give up the things I love
I won't give up the things I love
When this world grows dark and cold
And I ain't got nowhere to go
I won't give up the things I love
Learned defeat without regrets
Saw people bleed and not get wet
Caught a reflection of my former self
Beneath this mask I wear
Tried forgiveness and I failed
Raised up my voice and screamed out loud
Confronted all the truth I ever knew then tried to run like hell
Why can't we live for one another?
Why don't we hold each other up?
I won't give up the things I love
I won't give up the things I love
When this world grows dark and cold
And I ain't got nowhere to go
I won't give up the things I love
Hold me up, I think I'm falling
I'm afraid to see the morning
Oh the light, oh the light is awful bright
Hold me up, I think I'm falling
I'm afraid to see the morning
Oh the light, oh the light is awful bright
Oh the light, oh the light is awful bright
I won't give up the things I love
I won't give up the things I love
When this world grows dark and cold
And I ain't got nowhere to go
I won't give up the things I love
I won't give up the things I love
I won't give up the things I love
I won't give up the things I love
I won't give up the things I love
I won't give up the things I love
I won't give up the things I love
I won't give up the things I love
No, I won't give up the things I love
Yeah, I won't give up the things I love
I won't give up the things I love
