Not Giving Up...not Yet

Another day that feels like falling
As I hear direction calling me
Away from those paths I chose
When I was twenty-three

And I know it's detrimental
'Cause when I miss my potential
I can hardly sleep
But when I do I die in all my dreams

'Cause it pains me to think
Could I have been better in another life
I don't want to know

I have come this far and I'm not giving up
(Not yet, not yet, not yet, no)
Though I gamble with everything I love
(Not yet, not yet, not yet)
I can't live a perfect life
And I know that there's no answer
But I know that I'm not giving up
I'm not giving up

And I trade these easy vices
For an end to sacrifices
I have run my hands through heaven
And I have dipped my feet in hell
But my days have served me well
I know how to lose everything
And pick up where I fell

But it pains me to think
Could I have been better in another life
I don't want to know

If I could try another life
How would I know I'd get it right
A different man, a different mind
Another soul with time to feel alive

I can't live this perfect life
And I won't care if there's an answer
I'm not giving up
