Dont Give Up On Me Now

I don’t know what to say
Don’t know the right words to make you stay
You say I'm making you feel small
You think you've put your pride at stake

Don’t want you to give up on me now
Though this seems the right time
For you to prove your promises and vows
‘cause your words have started to feel differently, somehow

Silence promises to speak louder than words
So I’m just hoping you know me enough
To figure out the meaning of these silent screams
Without making this a contest of pride and dignity

I don’t know what to say
Don’t know the right words to make you stay
I expected this part to be served in a plate
Like the rest of the paths of my fate

I’m afraid to tell you how I feel
It helps with this act of being hard core
But I don’t want you to give up on me, please
Not today, not even on the most painful of silent nights

I wish I could show you how
Show us the right way out
I’m really weighed under all these traditions
To help you map out this decision
