I will not give in

 I will not give in:

If you would have told me it was like this, I wouldn’t have believed you

I don’t do confused, but I am doing it, I am doing it, for you

I don’t do let downs, or not sure, my God! “I am all kinds of wrong here”

The things I’d walk away from, I don’t look back: but with you I do, I do

I said goodbye, but I didn’t leave: what is it with you?

I say no: it is no

You say yes, and I am like “Okay”

Do I still have a voice, did I lose mine somewhere?

Is this what they call losing yourself, am I still here?

No! As a child; I never would have believed you

As a woman, I don’t want to

But now look at me; I am trying to figure out this whole thing, it is so brand new

What am I supposed to do?

Just give up, throw my hands in the air; and say I been defeated by life again

I can’t do this: it is just not who I am

I am a sink or swim

I am do it, get her done

I am passion, in both my hands

I am going to love you: the best I can

But: I am not, I will not, I cannot, I just refuse…to give up, or give in

I have dreams: I want to live them
