Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you know what it's like when
You're scared to see yourself?
Do you know what it's like when
You wish you were someone else
Who didn't need your help to get by?
Do you know what it's like
To wanna surrender?
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
[Verse 3]
Do you know what it's like when
You're not who you wanna be?
Do you know what it's like to
Be your own worst enemy
Who sees the things in me I can't hide?
Do you know what it's like
To wanna surrender?
[Verse 4]
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I wanna feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
[Verse 5]
Make me feel better
You make me feel better
You make me feel better
Put me back together
[Verse 6]
I don't wanna feel like this tomorrow
I don't wanna live like this today
Make me feel better
I need to feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
[Verse 7]
Put me back together
Never surrender
Make me feel better
You make me feel better
Stay with me here now
And never surrender
