Avril Ramona Lavigne (pronunciation: /ˈævrɨl ləˈviːn/; AV-ril lə-VEEN; born 27 September 1984) is a Canadian singer-songwriter. She was born in Belleville, Ontario, but spent most of her youth in the small town of Napanee. By the age of 15, she had appeared on stage with Shania Twain; by 16, she had signed a two-album recording contract with Arista Records worth more than $2 million. In 2002, when she was 17 years old, Lavigne broke onto the music scene with her debut album Let Go.
Let Go made Lavigne the youngest female soloist to reach No. 1 in the UK, and the album was certified four-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. By 2009, over 16 million copies had been sold worldwide. Her breakthrough single, "Complicated", peaked at No. 1 in many countries around the world, as did the album Let Go. Her second album, Under My Skin, was released in 2004 and was her first album to peak at No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, eventually selling more than 10 million copies worldwide. The Best Damn Thing, Lavigne’s third album, was released in 2007, becoming her third No. 1 album in the UK Albums Chart and featuring her first U.S. Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single, "Girlfriend". Lavigne has scored six number-one singles worldwide, including "Complicated", "Sk8er Boi", "I'm with You", "My Happy Ending", "Nobody's Home", and "Girlfriend". With more than 30 million copies of her albums sold worldwide, Lavigne is one of the top-selling artists releasing albums in the U.S., with over 10.25 million copies certified by the RIAA. Her fourth studio album, Goodbye Lullaby, was released in March 2011. Goodbye Lullaby gave Lavigne her fourth top 10 album on the U.S. Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart and her third No. 1 album in both Japan and Australia. Three months after the release of Goodbye Lullaby, Lavigne began work on her fifth album, which will be released on Epic Records following her departure from RCA Records.
The hardest part of giving up
Is not knowing when you’re done
I used to think i was tough enough
To last forever, to call your bluff
So how do you know when you’re done
When the battle at hand just can’t be won
This hurt is contagious
And only time will save us
Never alone
I can’t give you all away
Never alone
What will it take to make you stay
Stay, stay
It’s the damaged start i have to stop
All the time it took to find out who we are
My guilt assured for my part
I bear forever i can’t hide this scar
So how do you know when it’s done
When the battle at hand just can’t be won
This hurt is contagious
And only time will save us
Never alone
I can’t give you all away
Never alone
What will it take to make you stay
Stay, stay
You took the time to write me off
You held me close you made me soft
Now i am falling apart
I blurred the line and you took it all
A dying sign, there’s nothing left at all
This hurt is contagious
This hurt is contagious
This hurt is contagious
(and i can’t give you all away…)
And only time will save us
(and i can’t give you all away…)
Never alone
I can’t give you all away
Never alone
