Ron Pope I Won't Give up the Things I Love song lyrics

I put the cart before the horse

counted diamonds in the dark

serenaded painted ladies

silver bullets in my gun.

Drank the wine swore I'd resist

sweat through dreams of scarlet lips

survived extraordinary circumstances.

The Devil cracked a grin.

Why can't we live for one another?

Why don't we hold each other up?

I won't give up the things I love.

I won't give up the things I love.

When this world grows dark and cold

and I ain't got nowhere to go

I won't give up the things I love.

Learned defeat without regrets

saw people bleed and not get wet

caught a reflection of my former self

beneath this mask I wear.

Tried forgiveness and I failed

raised up my voice and screamed out loud,

confronted all the truth I ever knew then tried to run like hell.

Why can't we live for one another?

Why don't we hold each other up?

I won't give up the things I love.

I won't give up the things I love.

When this world grows dark and cold

and I ain't got nowhere to go

I won't give up the things I love.

Hold me up, I think I'm falling

I'm afraid to see the morning

oh the light, oh the light is awful bright.

Hold me up, I think I'm falling

I'm afraid to see the morning

oh the light, oh the light is awful bright

oh the light, oh the light is awful bright.

I won't give up the things I love.

I won't give up the things I love.

When this world grows dark and cold

and I ain't got nowhere to go

I won't give up the things I love.

I won't give up the things I love.

I won't give up the things I love.

I won't give up the things I love.

I won't give up the things I love.

I won't give up the things I love.

I won't give up the things I love.

I won't give up the things I love.

No, I won't give up the things I love.

Yeah, I won't give up the things I love.

I won't give up the things I love.
