Hey everyone!
It’s time for another Music Monday! For this week’s song, I have chosen I Won’t Give In by Asking Alexandria.
Music Monday was created by Drew over on The Tattooed Book Geek.
I Won’t Give In by Asking Alexandria
I Won’t Give In was released as the first single from Asking Alexandria’s 2016 album, The Black (PURCHASE HERE – affiliate link). The Black is the only AA album with Denis Shaforostov (Denis Stoff) as the band’s frontman. I personally think that this is one of the best albums the band have released, but since Denis’ departure, and Danny Worsnop’s return as frontman, Denis seems to be the only one of the band to still acknowledge the albums existence.
I was actually lucky enough to see Asking Alexandria live twice while Denis was the lead singer (I have seen them with Danny too). The best of those 2 times was at Kerrang! Awards in 2016, where I also got to meet them twice in one day. Below is my video of them performing I Won’t Give In.
(P.S. I MISS LIVE MUSIC)
Lyrics
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You’re slowly killing yourself
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You’re slowly killing yourself
I won’t give in
If my heart could sing, would you stay?
Would you stay and listen?
Would you stay and listen?
If my soul was torn, would you help?
Would you try and fix me?
Would you help un-break me?
Your smile, it eats me alive
And I can’t turn away any longer
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You’re slowly killing yourself
I won’t give in
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You’re slowly killing yourself
I won’t give in
I’m the ghost of what’s left of me
Begging you to hear me
Can you even feel me?
I can’t let you go, save me please
Will you stay here with me?
Will you ever leave me?
Your smile it eats me alive
I can’t turn away any longer
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You’re slowly killing yourself
I won’t give in
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You’re slowly killing yourself
I won’t give in
I gave you everything
I never thought we would end up like this
I gave you everything
I can’t let you go, save me please
I gave you everything
I won’t give in
I gave you everything
I won’t give in
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You’re slowly killing yourself
I’ll be your light in the darkness
Every breath you take
I watch you slip away
You’re slowly killing yourself
I won’t give in
I gave you everything
I never thought we would end up like this
