Awake (Deluxe Edition) cover
11. Never Surrender
Album: Awake (Deluxe Edition)
Artist: Skillet
         
 

V1
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

Chorus
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
And never surrender

V2
Do you now 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

Bridge
Make me feel better
You make me feel better
You make me feel better
Put me back together


(John L. Cooper/ Dave Bassett)

Behind the Song:
"The original inspiration for this came with someone I talked to that was battling an eating disorder. Though it’s not specifically about that topic, it ties in to the fact that sometimes you feel like you don’t like who you are, but you’re crying out for someone to be there for you instead of giving up- whether that be God, a family member or a close a friend. " - John Cooper (Skillet)
