When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No I won't give up
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools, the gifts we've got yeah we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we didn't tend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not
And who I am
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
So easy is our life
What's mine is yours and yours mine
Hardly do we ever fight
We'd rather be kind
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get dark
I'm healing this broken heart
And I know I'm worth it
I won't give up on us
God knows I'm tough enough
We got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No I won't give up on us
God knows I've had enough
We got a lot to learn
And we're, and we're worth it
No I won't give up
No I won't give up
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
'Cause even the stars they burn
Some even fall to the earth
We got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No I won't give up
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools, the gifts we've got yeah we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we didn't tend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not
And who I am
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up
So easy is our life
What's mine is yours and yours mine
Hardly do we ever fight
We'd rather be kind
I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get dark
I'm healing this broken heart
And I know I'm worth it
I won't give up on us
God knows I'm tough enough
We got a lot to learn
God knows we're worth it
No I won't give up on us
God knows I've had enough
We got a lot to learn
And we're, and we're worth it
No I won't give up
No I won't give up

"don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily

Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools, the gifts we've got yeah we got a lot at stake"
He gives me the space, he gives me the spirit, he gives me the trust, he gives me the patience. . . and now i am worried, what if i fall in love with him. Or i am already in ?
I hope we really can meet in person someday....

“When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
There's so much they hold”
Here it made me remember the moment when my mom’s beautiful dark eyes opened once again from an induced coma. I remember missing seeing them while she was in coma, and once they opened it felt like my whole life was starting over with a beautiful sunrise!
“And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?”
Here it made me think of all the struggles she had to go through, and it reminded me of how she handled them. My mother was a very positive woman, always grateful for every day God had given her. Making the best out of the worst circumstances, and there is no doubt in my mind that she is right where she ought to be, in Heaven!
“I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up”
This was the attitude I had during the struggle in the hospital. I never gave up. Not when the doctors told me that she wouldn’t make it, not when they were hesitant of practicing CPR even though my mom had requested it. Never giving up, always looking up, giving her all of my love.
“And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find”
At this point I was almost about to stop the car because I couldn’t take it no more. This is exactly my attitude, I even posted something similar on Facebook a day after her passing. Now her soul needs her space to do some navigating, in the meantime I’ll be patiently waiting for her.
“Some [stars] even fall to the earth”
Days after my mom’s death, I would find myself looking at the dark sky, with all of its stars. And I would look at particular one and wonder if she became this star and if she could come down to earth to visit me. I later had a dream where she did.
“I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make”
This is what my mom thought me my whole life, and I applied it! I went to the hospital almost every day except for a couple of days where I became sick and didn’t want to make her get worse. I did everything I could, I helped as much as I could, I never walked away!
“I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not
And who I am”
This was my lesson. I had to learn what I got, and what I’m not, AND WHO I AM. I GOT an immense love for my mother and a lot of Faith. I was reinforced the idea that even though I can try my hardest to make everything ok, the bottom line is that I’M NOT God to decide what was going to happen. I learned that I AM just a human being, who could only pray for the wellbeing of my mother, be it here on earth or up there in Heaven.
“I'm healing this broken heart”
My heart is broken because the bottom line is that I can no longer feel her warmth! But my broken heart has been slowly healing, because I’m slowly learning a different way of making her present in my life.
“No I won't give up”
I loved how this song ended. It reinforced my line of thought were even though the worst has happened, she is no longer here and there is absolutely nothing I can do to make her reappear, I won’t give up! I won’t give up loving her, I won’t give up making her part of my life, I won’t give up my faith, I won’t give up the hope that someday we’ll reunite!
I feel he is talking about God and how he doesnt give up on us. He loves us unconditionally.
He then decides he wont give up on us either.
He views humans as something special, because if God has faith in us then why shouldnt he?
There good in all of us and for all of us, and we should all help each other out. Were in this together.
And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
In this part of the song he/she believes that time is needed to remove the awkwardness and in no time they will get back to normal and be back to being friends status and someday he/she will have the chance to try to profess his/her love again.
I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
The tools, the gifts we've got yeah we got a lot at stake
And in the end, you're still my friend at least we didn't tend
For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn
We had to learn how to bend without the world caving in
I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not
And who I am
As he/she looks down the road he/she believes that moving on is not an option because everything will be worth it and it will be a win win situation because if things might not work out in developing a relationship, he/she still won a friend and atleast he dint leave his/her relationship in an awkward status but on a friendship status.
This song is pretty much encourages people to fight for their love on someone that dumps them. Its pretty much true that YOLO and never stick to 1 person but when you loved someone there's pretty much a reason why you had to fall in love with him/her and think twice there is a reason why you had to meet him/her??? Life might be too short for one but it might be worth the wait and you dont want him/her THE ONE THAT GOT AWAY!!!
-Keep fighting.
