Don´t give up on me Lyrics


I don't know what I did but I must have been a fool
I got no excuses so I wrote this song for you
Whatever the reasons did you come to say goodbye?
I'm hoping for one more try, I wanted to change your mindSo I pick up the pieces, I swallowed all my pride
I don't wanna wake up, feeling this empty inside
Did it spin you around? Did it turn you upside down?
I wonder when you found out I'm a waste of your timeSo don't give up on me
I never meant to steal your smile, I haven't seen it for a while
And don't, don't give up on me
Just try to understand that I can be a better manI tell you once just don't give up on me, yeah
I tell you once just don't give up on meAnd now I feel that I'm out of place
I look for you on every stranger's face
I don't think I can do this any moreAnd every little things just falls apart
From the very first that day I broke your heart
It only makes me want you more and more just like before'Cause you spin me around and now you turn me upside down
I never meant to be a waste of your timeSo don't give up on me
I never meant to steal your smile, I haven't seen it for a while
And don't, don't give up on me

Just try to understand that I can be a better manI tell you once just don't give up on me
I could fall if you're not there at all and what am I supposed to do?
I tell you once just don't give up on me
Baby say you won't give up on me

Daniel Powter is a Canadian recording artist, born on 25 February 1971. He grew up in Vernon, British Columbia, Canada, in the Okanagan Valley region of British Columbia. With few local musical influences, he credits his early exposure to music to his mother, who was a pianist and took her son on long distance trips to see artists like Prince perform in Vancouver.

Daniel Powter released his debut album, I'm Your Betty, in 2000. The album, limited to a very small print, contains ten songs, two of which—"More Than I" and "Negative Fashion"—were featured on the television show Higher Ground. Powter has a music publishing deal with BMG Music Publishing for France.

Daniel Powter's first piano pop single, "Bad Day," debuted not in his home country of Canada, but rather in Europe in mid-2005. It was chosen by Warner Brothers as a submission for commercial production and was subsequently chosen by Coca-Cola as the theme song for an ad campaign in Europe. Additionally, "Bad Day" is currently being used extensively by American Idol in its fifth season. Powter sang the song live at the end of the penulimate show of that season. The song achieved heavy airplay in most European countries, and made it as high as number three on the overall European airplay chart. It did best in Germany, where it peaked at number one in national airplay, Ireland where it peaked at #1 on the Singles Chart, and in the UK, where it peaked at number two in the singles chart and stayed in the top 10 for 13 weeks. In the United States the song peaked at number 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 seven weeks after it was released. In Australia, it peaked at number three. The song reached top five in Canada and is now a top 10 hit at Adult Top 40 radio. It was fifth place in the British Record of the Year 2005.

On July 2, 2005, Powter performed at the Berlin installment of Live 8, a simultaneous group of concerts in nine countries intended to raise awareness of poverty in Africa and put pressure on world leaders for aid.

On April 1, 2006, he was named the best new artist at the Canadian Juno Awards.

In March 2008, a song by Japanese singer Haru featuring Powter, "FIND MY WAY", was released. In September, Powter released his third album, Under The Radar.

Powter also performed piano on tracks for what was scheduled to be Marcy Playground frontman John Wozniak's solo album, Leaving Wonderland...in a fit of rage, but the album will now be released under the band's name. Powter will still be given credit for his contributions to the album, particularly the album's single "Good Times".
