"When navigating through life, being met with failure be it big or small is inevitable. It's never a pleasant experience to fail. The fear, shame & self-doubt that comes with it often prevents us from wanting to try again. At times like this, look beyond the unpleasant, get back up on your feet & don't give up just yet. There is always a rainbow after a storm"
- Madeline & Robin
Daydream
Life feels like a daydream
And I just wish that I could wake up
I just wish that I could wake up
My mind, whispers in the nighttime
Voices always keeping me up
Telling me that I should give up
But I'm not givin' up
(I don't wanna be sad forever)
I'm not givin' up, givin' up, no, not yet
(I don't wanna be sad no more)
Even when I'm down on my last breath
(I don't wanna be medicated)
Even when they say there's nothin' left
(I don't wanna be sad, I don't wanna be sad)
So don't give up on
(I don't wanna be sad anymore)
I'm not givin' up
(I don't wanna be sad forever)
I'm not givin' up, givin' up, no, not yet
(I don't wanna be sad no more)
Even when I'm down on my last breath
(I don't wanna go through that war)
Even when they say there's nothin' left
(I don't wanna be sad, I don't wanna be sad)
So don't give up on me
(I don't wanna be sad anymore)
And I will hold, I'll hold onto you
No matter what this world will throw
It won't shake me loose
I'll reach my hands out in the dark and
(I've been in the backseat to my own life)
Wait for yours to interlock
(Trying to take control)
I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you
(But I don't know how, to)
'Cause I'm not givin' up
(I don't wanna be sad forever, I don't wanna be sad no more)
I'm not givin' up, givin' up, no, not yet
(I don't wanna wake up and wonder, What the hell am I doing this for?)
Even when I'm down on my last breath
(I don't wanna be medicated, I don't wanna go through that war)
Even when they say there's nothin' left
(I don't wanna be sad, I don't wanna be sad)
So don't give up on
(I don't wanna be sad anymore)
I'm not givin' up
(I don't wanna be sad forever, I don't wanna go one more day)
I'm not givin' up, givin' up, no, not me
(I just wanna wake up and realize, Everything's gonna be okay)
Even when nobody else believes
(I don't know how else to say it, I don't wanna go through that war)
I'm not goin' down that easily
(I don't wanna be sad, I don't wanna be sad)
So don't give up on me
(I don't wanna be sad anymore)
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
I will fight
(Don’t be sad forever)
I will fight for you
(Don’t be sad no more)
I always do until my heart is black and blue
(Don’t be sad anymore)
