now i know it's hard to believe babe
how it can all be pretend
you think the love is won
but then it comes undone
and all you have are memories of pain

so now you won't fall again babe
with love you won't be concerned no
you say it hurts too much
ain't no one left to trust
your broken heart has nothing left to learn

life is gonna test you baby
and people are gonna stress you baby
and i can only hope and pray you understand
that girl you're something special
it's not a question
not just some suggestion no
it's the reason that i care so much
'cuz girl you're something special

now you can't keep running away babe
'cuz there ain't nowhere you could ever truly hide
would you rather live pretend
believin' you can't win
to end up up crying every single night

when will you open your eyes pretty baby
when will you let go of your oh so foolish pride
can't be afraid to fly
just take a chance and try
'cuz all we have is what we are inside

life is gonna test you baby
and people are gonna stress you baby
and i can only hope and pray you understand
that girl you're something special
it's not a question
not just some suggestion no
it's the reason that i care so much
'cuz girl you're something special

sometimes i feel as if i can't go on
but i refuse to give up
i find the strength to be strong
i know tomorrow is a brand new day
so i refure to give up
i find a better way
some people tell me that i lost my mind
but i refuse to give up
so i won't waste my time
sometimes i feel as if i can't go on
but i refuse to give up
yes i refuse to give up

sometimes i feel as if i can't go on
but i refuse to give up
i find the strength to be strong
i know tomorrow is a brand new day
so i refure to give up
i find a better way

but i refuse to give up
so i won't waste my time
sometimes i feel as if i can't go on
but i refuse to give up
yes i refuse to give up

life is gonna test you baby
