Yours for the Taking

I guess it's safe to say that I've been standing in my grave Made true by the ones that surround me It's all he said, but she said "Can we just take a step back and give it some meaning?" Little white lies are hard to hide When no one is watching, I break down and cry I'm a mess, I'm a wreck, I'm everything but dead I could have everything, but I'm here instead I'll never give up I'll scrape the skies if I don't reach the sun (Should I fail) Tell my mother, I'm okay; my father, I'm fine I'll make you proud while I still have the time I'll never give up (I'll never give up) No, I'll never give up (I'll never give up) Take the air from my lungs and my vision to see But I'll keep on moving, you can't stop me So many things that I feel like I should say No point, nobody listens anyway It's all the same case, new place, two face Got me feeling like I should escape this place I wanna runaway, disappear without a trace But I'm afraid, I'm afraid of what it means I'd give my soul to be heard To save a life with just my words Of what it means... A body thats broken, a soul that is stained A heart that is torn, where a love still remains Of what it means I'll never give up I'll scrape the skies if I don't reach the sun Tell my mother, I'm okay; my father, I'm fine I'll make you proud while I still have the time I'll never give up (I'll never give up) No, I'll never give up (I'll never give up) Take the air from my lungs and my vision to see But I'll keep on moving, you can't stop me Run your mouth like you have some clue Theres a million motherfuckers that are just like you Sold your soul for some gold, to collect "The Fame" In a few short years, they forget your name Nobody's gonna ever stop me, yeah You'll never hold me down
