Don’t You Give Up On Me Lyrics by Joshua Idehen

Learn To Swim, A Mixtape

2022

The ways and hows of healing
Asked me how I'm feeling?
Said I'm fine
Say I'm great
Smiles in place
The mask is peeling
Life's a game of cards
Everyone's dealing
Feet firm
Eyes to the ceiling
Keep it sealed in
No revealing
All concealed
How I learnt to act a man
Never ask for helping hand
Lonely soldier
World on shoulders
That's how this altas stands
And yet
And yet
And yet
Bad man is acting out
Lashing out
Unanswered text
What's that all about?
More than a few lines crossed
More than a few grеnades tossed
And just like that
Dеcade old bonds crumble into dust
But hold it there, my breh
Hands up, I've been a mare
Basket tried to hold his tears
My shame too much to bear
Responded to love with fear
But I swear
I'm getting myself into gear
The signal is starting to clear
Your mate is still here beneath the layers
Don't you give up on me, don't you dare
Don't you give up on me, don't you dare
Still here beneath the layers, mate, swear
[Verse 2]
The ways and hows of healing
Ask me how I'm feeling
Say I'm fine
Said I'm fine
Cuz sadness ain't appealing
Had it up to here with you
Had it to the ceiling
This facade you got on
Solo Agent, Mr James Bond
Old fashioned, orange peel in
What the hell are friends for
If not for when your soul is sore?
I Know you got a lot on
How you been going is not on
Any one else would jog on
Why you been so stubborn?
I just didn't wanna be a burden
Never learned how to handle hurting
I know I was lieutenant letdown
This hole was hard to get round
From my own life I felt left out
But I appreciate that you stepped up
And when I'm back to blue-sky sunny
I hope you'll be there for me
