Lyrics

(Up on love, up on-) (Up on love, up on-) You are patient, You are kind So I thought I finally got it right this time You are lovely and full of life But honestly, I felt it wasn't right I know my heart will feel the same again in time I don't wanna give, I don't wanna give up on love, up on love I know I'm not alone, but when I'm alone, it's so rough, and it's so much Took a chance, it didn't really work out Doesn't mean that there's nobody to find now I don't wanna give, I don't wanna give up on love, up on love, up on love Up on love, up on- Up on love, up on- Up on love, up on- Up on love They say, "Keep waiting, embrace these days You gotta work on your relationship with God" But I've been waiting, been chasin' and every night I'm praying For things I only write about in songs Someone to walk beside, is that so wrong? I don't wanna give, I don't wanna give up on love, up on love I know I'm not alone, but when I'm alone, it's so rough, and it's so much Took a chance, it didn't really work out Doesn't mean that there's nobody to find now I don't wanna give, I don't wanna give up on love, up on love, up on love Up on love, up on- Up on love, up on- Up on love, up on- Up on love Up on love, up on- Up on love, up on- Up on love, up on- Up on love And I, I only wanna trust in whatever Your hand designs I don't want the control (no) And I'm not needing to be anxious when that is a waste of time I will wait for the Lord 'Cause I don't wanna give, I don't wanna give up on love I know I'm not alone, but when I'm alone, it's so rough I don't wanna give, I don't wanna give up on love, up on love I know I'm not alone, but when I'm alone, it's so rough, and it's so much Took a chance, it didn't really work out Doesn't mean that there's nobody to find now I don't wanna give, I don't wanna give up on love, up on love, up on love (I don't wanna give up on, up on love) (Don't wanna give up)
