"Surrender" lyrics

"Surrender"

I came in peace and I survived
I let the light destroy the lies
'Til there's no bitterness inside
And I'll be kind but I won't be cheap
There is no limit here for me
I'm taking everything I need

The world's alive, but it's run by thieves
Trying to take your soul before you leave
And it can break you down if you don't break through
Take back control

When you feel like hope is gone
And there's no need to soldier on
No surrender
Don't you surrender, my love

I bit the world, the world bit back
This shout of love is not an act
And I'd care less if you don't understand
So when they sing the symphony
It will be written just for me
A most joyous melody

Seek joy, avoid pain
Wake up and do it again
This is your home, this is your life
Take back control

When you feel like hope is gone
And there's no need to soldier on
No surrender
Now don't you surrender, my love
'Cause you're not here for very long
So when you leave, go with a song
No surrender
Let it be no surrender, my love

Treat me like a king, kiss me like a stranger
Treat me like a king, kiss me like a stranger
Treat me like a king, kiss me like a stranger
Treat me like a king, kiss me like a stranger

When you feel like hope is gone
And there's no need to soldier on
No surrender
Don't you surrender, my love
('Cause you're not here for very long)
I bit the world, the world bit back
This shot of love is not an act
(So when you leave, go with a song)
And I'd care less if you don't understand
(No surrender) No surrender
Let it be no surrender, my love

Treat me like a king, kiss me like a stranger
Treat me like a king, kiss me like a stranger
