Never Givin’ Up

Wake up tired, heavy eyes again, Backpack full but it ain’t just pens, Got thoughts in my mind that I don’t unpack, Like what if I fail or why can’t I relax? Hallways cold, fake smiles all around, LAUGHING on the surface, but I’m breaking down, Tryna act strong, hold my tears in class, While time movin’ slow and I just want to pass But I ain’t weak - nah I’m still here, Even with the weight and the quiet fear, Yeah, some days I’m low and the nights feel tough But I whisper to myself: You’re more than enough. Chorus I’m hurt but I’m walking Tired but I’m talking Falling but I get back up - I keep chalking Dreams on the board, pain in my gut But every single day I never give up Pressure on my chest, head held high Even when I fail, I still try You can count me out, but I’ll rise again Cause broken or not - I fight to the end Grades don’t show all the battles I face, Smiling through storms just to keep my place Got a heart that’s cracked but still beats strong And I’ll prove the world wrong if it takes all year long Maybe I ain’t perfect maybe I cry But I’m still pushing - I don’t ask why Every no I hear just fuels my flame You might not know me now but you’ll know my name This is for the kids who feel like ghosts Invisible, quiet - hurting the most You matter. You’re loved. You’re not alone. Keep walking through the fire - your soul is stone Chorus repeated
