My home don't feel the same Last year flew by, goodbye to the good vibes What we thought were the best times Nights out with the people I love Now I'm lost in the neighborhood That raised me, praised me, made me who I am But my father was twice the man And now that pain's resurfacing Brooklyn don't feel the same Maybe I'm the one who's changed or the one to blame Another drink down the drain Ten more before I get on that plane I swear I knew just what to say It's all there on the tip of my tongue But I don't feel good enough for anyone But I won’t fold I know 'cause I-I-I-I got this feeling I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride I ain't never letting go, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever gonna sell my soul I-I-I-I got this feeling I-I-I got this feeling I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride Pushed out of the family tree Upside down, but it was a good life I fell hard for the wine in France I didn't call you back 'cause I was learning to dance This is who I'd become It's all there on the tip of my tongue Wish I was good enough for anyone No, I won't unfold I know cause I-I-I-I got this feeling I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride I ain't never letting go, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever gonna sell my soul I-I-I-I got this feeling I-I-I got this feeling I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride Take or leave who I am 'Cause this is me Like a fish out of water Do I belong here? But I'm never gonna lose, I'm never giving up my pride I'm lost in the ocean Like a note in a bottle But I'm never gonna lose, I'm never giving up my pride This is me, who I am I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride I ain't never letting go, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever gonna sell my soul I-I-I-I got this feeling I-I-I got this feeling I ain't never giving up, I ain't never ever, I ain't never ever giving up my pride Take or leave who I am 'Cause this is me ('cause this is me)
