Phil (Intro)

I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you

My life is a beautiful mess
All of this money and time I invest
In tryna be happy, I'm wearing a vest
To try and protect this heart my chest
Trying hard but never happy with the outcome
Happiness cut short, never lasts long
Send snaps at night with no flash on
I don't wanna see the man I've become
Just a shell of my former self
Riding waves but I've been swept off the shelf
Running out of breath as I scream for help
No one's listening as the current pulls me out
The gravity of the situation pulls me down
Getting tight in my chest, I'm about to drown
That's just the mind state that I'm in right now
Trying hard to figure out how it feels to be proud

I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you

I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you

Everywhere I go, feel like a burden
Demons at my throat, I don't deserve this
You ignored the twist, now observe this
Time to end the show and close the curtains
I know I have friends but it don't mean shit
When I feel so low and depressed like this
When I'm stuck at home and I stress like this
Never feeling there's a purpose that I exist
The grief caused my body to shut down
Now amount of sorry's can bring me back now
I was a broken man crying everyday
And all I did was end all this pain
She was my one and only love
It's true nothing breaks like a heart
Her and I fit like a glove
Custom made but it was time for me to give it all up

I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you

I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you

Those last few words you wrote for me to use
I just wish that you could hear them and you hadn't left so soon
Crying in the studio writing this tune
Cause we love you Phil, I just hope you knew
Your heart was too big I think that's the truth
Cared for others but you never took the time for you
I've been prayin' that you made it safe to heaven
So you can tell everyone that we will never forget em
Send prayers to the ones we've lost
Taken too soon, everything has a cost
Wish I could find a way to rewind the time
So I wouldn't take for granted, seeing your smile
It cuts deep, cause I hate to lose
But I hate losing loved ones more I'd choose
To knock the gates to heaven down and get you back
But I know you've found peace and gotta accept that
Just give me a sign that you're alright
So I can wipe these tears away from my eyes
Cause I know you had battles that you never spoke of
I just hope that you're happy now that you've moved on
If you're hearing me, know I'm proud
Of everything that you were, and inspired me to be now
You might be gone, but have no doubt
When the full moon shines you're smiling back down

I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you

I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you
I'm not gonna give up
I'm not gonna give up on you
