Given Up by Blood and Water Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You may not like me when it's said
And you've heard all the facts
I used to be a man who had it all;
Together tightly packed
Since then, I've tasted failure
And I've found my need for God
I'm still working out the details with my family, friends
And all my good intentions

[Verse 2]
When my worlds are done colliding
I hope we're not so far apart
But for now I'm stuck here moonlighting
To play a bigger part
If it's nothing but a joke to you
Well, I can understand
Know these days and nights and dreams of mine
Will help me become a man

[Chorus]
I've given up thoughts to stay slow or say so
I can't keep it up, not alone
In the darkness, the light keeps shining
I know I should keep on trying
I've given up thoughts to stay slow or say so
I can't keep it up, not alone
In the darkness, the light keeps shining
I know I should keep on trying
[Bridge]
If life's just a series of choices
Then my purpose is found if I make all the right ones
If grace covers my imperfections
Then I pray that the Son will shed light to my feet
I'll hold to the end, I'll hold to the end!

[Chorus]
I've given up thoughts to stay slow or say so
I can't keep it up, not alone
In the darkness, the light keeps shining
I know I should keep on trying
(I'll hold to the end, yeah)
I've given up thoughts to stay slow or say so
I can't keep it up, not alone
In the darkness, the light keeps shining
I know I should keep on trying
I've given up thoughts to stay slow or say so
I can't keep it up, not alone
In the darkness, the light keeps shining
I know I should keep on trying
