Giving Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I know it’s hard to tell the truth
I know it isn’t easy to admit
We are what remains of an unspoken youth
Who fights for everything but his rights
Criticised and forever compromised
I’m giving back again
All the promises you made
You can keep them cause
I don’t deserve
To be threatened by another lie
I’m giving back again
All the fucking sleepless nights
Spent dreaming of a better future
Where we could finally feel alive
I know it’s hard to face the truth
I know it isn’t easy to embrace
The kind of future that
They’ve prepared for us
A delusional state of mind,
Criticised, yet forever compromised
I’m giving back again
All the promises you made
You can keep them cause
I don’t deserve
To be threatened by another lie
I’m giving back again
All the fucking sleepless nights
spent dreaming of a better future
Where we could finally feel alive
For every sacrifice we made
For every truth you’ve ever traded
For all of this
I won’t surrender
No I’ll never surrender
For every painful day we’ve been through
For every losing attitude
For all of this
I’ll never surrender
No never surrender
I’m giving back again
All the promises you made
You can keep them cause I don’t deserve
To be threatened by another lie
I’m giving back again
All the fucking sleepless nights
Spent dreaming of a better future
Where we could finally feel alive
