So many regrets
There's no reason to stay now
Baby I call it as I see it
Don't hold your breath
Got my head in the game now
I'm gonna break out and rise above it
I put on a big smile
And I join the race
I've wasted enough love
I will find my place
I will not give in to despair
I'll be fightin' till the war is won
I will not give in
I will not give in, yes I swear
I'll be fightin', I'll be holdin' on
I will not give in
Bein' alone
Been there and done that
And asking myself the same old questions
What's happenin'
What could've been
Why do I care, what difference does it make
And why do I dwell on my mistakes
I put on a big smile
And I join the race
I've wasted enough time
I will find my place
I will not give in to despair
I'll be fightin' till the war is won
I will not give in
I will not give in, yes I swear
I'll be fightin', I'll be holdin' on
I will not give in
And you thought that I would surrender
Pushed me up against the wall
Behold the great pretender
I stand up straight and tall
Never give in
I will not give in to despair
Never give in
(Never give up)
(Never say die)
(Or stop believing in your fantasies)
