Forfeit by Rise Against Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'll meet you in the shadows that come at night
I'll listen to your cries through the door
If you won't let me in, I'll just wait outside
Until you're ready, I will just be ignored
I'll find you when you hide in the darkest cave
And be there when you emerge
I will shield your eyes from the blinding light
Is there a prayer to lift this curse?

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you're in trouble, you're in deep
When you can't wake up, but you can't sleep
When it starts to slip away
And the world forgets your name

[Chorus]
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Come fire and flood
Let the earth shake, I won't move
No matter what
No matter what you say or do
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Whoa-ooh-whoa
[Verse 2]
I will wait for you at the forest edge
And feel each season change
I don't care what anybody else says
They can leave, I will stay
I'll save you a seat when the table's set
Hold your place 'til you return
I will light a candle by your photograph
If and when you say the word

[Pre-Chorus]
Then I'll come running down these streets
As fast as my feet will take me
When the crowds all go away
And the world forgets your name

[Chorus]
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Come fire and flood
Let the earth shake, I won't move
No matter what
No matter what you say or do
I will hide the pain that I push through
Put a brave face on for you
Choke back tears all meant for you
Oh-ooh, whoa-oh-oh, ooh-whoa
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Come fire and flood
Let the earth shake, I won't move
No matter what
No matter what you say or do
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
[Outro]
Whoa-oh-oh-ooh, whoa-oh-oh-ooh
Whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh-ooh
Whoa-oh-oh-ooh, whoa-oh-oh-ooh
Whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-ooh-oh
