I Give Up Songtext
von Caroline Polachek

When I stop caring, you stop caring
When I care less, and you care less than me
When I don′t need and I don't believe in
The hollow phrases you still repeat

You and I, we fall apart
Now I know what it means to unravel
It′s a new and shallow grief
A pathetic kind of sad relief

It didn't used to feel this good to be all alone
Doing every damn thing I can to not go home
I give up
I give up on you now
I give up
How far can you fall
When you're already down?


I gave you that told-you-so look, it′s so crazy
And you gave me that list of things about myself to change
Now these days it′s every night, babe
It's not a rough patch, it′s not a phase

You and I, we fall apart
Now I know what it means to unravel
It's a new and shallow grief
And a pathetic kind of self-defeat

Didn′t used to feel this good to be all alone
Doing every damn thing I can to not go home
I give up
I give up on you now
I give up
How far can you fall
When you're already down?

I give up
I give up on you now
I give up
How far can you fall
When you′re already down?
