Never gave up

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I keep walking through the noise, heart full of war
Every smile that I fake makes it harder to ignore
I been strong for the ones who don’t know I’m in pain
Carried storms in my chest, never asked for the rain

There’s a silence in me, deeper than sleep
Where I bury all the tears I was too proud to keep
My world cracked the day he left and didn’t return
Now the candle’s still lit, but it don’t wanna burn

Saw the light when my siblings came alive
Felt the weight of love and the loss at the same time
Tried to hold it together for the ones that I love
But even fighters fall when the sky’s not enough

[Hook – Wiederholende Struktur]
Say I kept going when I couldn’t even feel
Say I held hope when the darkness felt real
Say I was lost, but I still stayed brave
Say I gave more than I ever could save

Say I was tired but I fought like fire
Say I was low but I aimed up higher
Say I was empty, but never alone
And even when I’m gone – I was finding my home

[Verse 2]
To the kid in the mirror: don’t break just yet
You’ve been breathing through battles, but haven’t lost the bet
They might forget you, but don’t forget your flame
You’re more than the silence, more than the shame

Home ain't a place, it's a soul that sees
The cracks in your walls but still loves what it reads
And if I found it in someone like him one day
Then maybe it's real, even when it fades away

I’ve been nervous, been hollow, been loud in my mind
But there’s power in standing when the peace’s hard to find
I don’t need to be perfect, just honest and true
Even if the world forgets, I won’t forget you

[Hook – Wiederholung, leicht emotionaler gesungen/gerappt]
Say I kept going when I couldn’t even feel
Say I held hope when the darkness felt real
Say I was lost, but I still stayed brave
Say I gave more than I ever could save

Say I was tired but I fought like fire
Say I was low but I aimed up higher
Say I was empty, but never alone
And even when I’m gone – I was finding my home

[Outro – Spoken softly]
Black as the void, red as the spark
Hope’s just a whisper you hear in the dark
But if you still breathe – then you still belong
And even broken boys can be strong
