[Verse 1]
How can I turn away from your gun?
How can I stay here where others would run
And cast the blame?
Fan a dying flame

[Verse 2]
All of my secrets breathe life to my lies
All of my thoughts, like the ocean, they slide
Along the edge
Linger on the banks
In search of refuge

[Chorus]
Darling, don't cry
(I won't give you up)
Don't you know why
(I won't give you up)
This bird never flies?
(Bird never flies)

[Verse 3]
There's night at the end of this heavenless day
There's night at the end that will show me a way
I tell myself
We may still be saved
[Chorus]
Darling, don't cry
(I won't give you up)
Don't you know why
(I won't give you up)
This bird never flies?
(Bird never flies)

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Darling, don't cry
Don't you know why
This bird never flies?

[Chorus]
Darling, don't cry
(I won't give you up)
Don't you know why
(I won't give you up)
This bird never flies?
(Bird never flies)

[Outro]
Ooh
Ooh
I won't give you up
I won't give you up
I won't give you up
Mmhmm
Mmhmm
Mmhmm
