"Forfeit" lyrics - RISE AGAINST

RISE AGAINST
"Forfeit"
(Rise Against / Tim McIlrath)

I'll meet you in the shadows that come at night
I'll listen to your cries through the door
If you won't let me in, I'll just wait outside
Until you're ready, I will just be ignored
I'll find you when you hide in the darkest cave
And be there when you emerge
I will shield your eyes from the blinding light
Is there a prayer to lift this curse?

[Pre-Chorus:]
'Cause you're in trouble, you're in deep
When you can't wake up, but you can't sleep
When it starts to slip away
And the world forgets your name

[Chorus:]
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Come fire and flood
I let the Earth shake, I won't move
No matter what
No matter what you say or do
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Whoa-ooh-whoa

I will wait for you at the forest edge
And feel each season change
I don't care what anybody else says
They can leave, I will stay
I'll save you a seat when the table's set
Hold your place 'til you return
I will light a candle by your photograph
If and when you say the word

[Pre-Chorus:]
Then I'll come running down these streets
As fast as my feet will take me
When the crowds all go away
And the world forgets your name

[Chorus:]
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Come fire and flood
I let the Earth shake, I won't move
No matter what
No matter what you say or do
I will hide the pain that I push through
Put a brave face on for you
Choke back tears all meant for you
Oh-ooh whoa-oh-oh ooh-whoa
I will not give up
I will not give up on you
Come fire and flood
I let the earth shake, I won't move
No matter what
No matter what you say or do
I will not give up
I will not give up on you

[Outro:]
Whoa-oh-oh-ooh, whoa-oh-oh-ooh
Whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-oh-ooh
Whoa-oh-oh-ooh, whoa-oh-oh-ooh
Whoa-oh-oh-ooh-whoa-oh-ooh-oh
