"As Long As You Are" lyrics

"As Long As You Are"

I wipe the counter, sweep the floor
Polish the glasses and close the door
I see them all come, I see them go
Some fools just rush out and some just roll

I was an artist when I was seventeen
I was an addict when I was twenty-three
I'm sentimental, but it's not how you think
I broke a few hearts
Fought in a few bars

The thing about you
You don't give up
You never gave up on me
The thing about you
Don't give up
You never gave up
Never gave up on me

Finally I see

Finally I see
Where would I be?

I cut the lights out, turn to leave
The city rising like a steam
Each passing face is something I'll never be
Each burning cinder
Left to remember

I had potential when I was seventeen
I had a breakdown when I was twenty-three
I started over, took some time to get clean
But when the night moaned, you left the light on for me

The thing about you
You don't give up
You don't give up on me
The thing about you
You never gave up
Never gave up
Never gave up on me

'Cause you don't give up
You don't give up
You don't give up
You don't give up
If you don't give up
