Ben Harper - Don't Give Up on Me Now Lyrics

Time, it opens all wounds
And trust, gonna put me in the tomb
The world isn't mine
The world isn't mine to save
I can't afford to lose
What you easily throw away

And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change, I don't know how
Don't give up on me now

It's not what we do, it's what we do with what we feel
Takes all you have to stare it down, and whisper "Devil, no deal."
And I don't wanna fight, don't wanna fight my father's war
You can wait your whole life
Not knowing what you're waiting for

And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change, I don't know how
Don't give up on me now, don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now, don't give up on me now
Don't give up on me now, don't give up on me now

And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change, I don't know how
And I don't even know myself
What it would take to know myself
I need to change, I don't know how
Don't give up on me now
