I Didn’t Come Here to Surrender

[Verse 1]
Overnight, wide awake on a crowded flight
The last luggage on the belt, you know I didn't really sleep, although I
Tried in vain, thought of you in the New York rain
Life's uneventful anyway, the same thing happens every day

[Chorus]
I'm feeling fragile at the centre
But I didn't come here to surrender

[Verse 2]
Over time, all the seasons begin to rhyme
The silences grow longer but the beat gets loudеr by design
The thunder rolls, thе rivers rise
The dams all break, the boats capsize

[Chorus]
I'm feeling fragile at the centre
But I didn't come here to surrender
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender

[Verse 3]
Overwrought, so defeated by gloomy thoughts
Now nothing's going right at all, and I can't see the light, although I
Try in vain, I think of you in the New York rain
Meet me where the floods began, that shattered derelict expanse

[Chorus]
I may look weak, I may seem tender
But I didn't come here to surrender
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender
Surrender, surrender
