Dropkick Murphys - Surrender lyrics

I was at my weakest state and
You kept me pushing on
You gave me something to believe in
And it keeps me standing strong
Yeah these lessons that I've learned
These things I'll carry on
And when you're gone I'll honor you each day
However long

This glimmer of hope was never enough
To guide me through the darkness like
A diamond in the rough
I held out for and I received a
Pain that never left with no reprieve
Like a toast at a table
Where resentments run free
There can't be any truth
Where there's no honesty
Like an apple from the tree you
Were lock jawed in your ways
A reminder of myself in
Those long forgotten days
Thought you'd stayed off my path
But, I just couldn't see that the
Blood that's in your veins
Is the same that runs through me

This glimmer of hope was never enough
To guide me through the darkness like
A diamond in the rough
I held out for and I received a
Pain that never left with no reprieve
Like a toast at a table
Where resentments run free
There can't be any truth
Where there's no honesty

I had it all but lost my faith
And then you lead me to it
Today I'll carry on
I had all but lost my faith
And now I've renewed it
These things I'll carry on
