I Give Up Songtext
von Melissa Ferrick

Okay, I give up
Let′s just call it even
'Cause I can′t keep waiting around for the perfect apology
And I'm sure you've said you′re sorry
A thousand times
But my anger makes me deaf
Just ask my psychologists

So let′s do this
Let's get to know each other for real
All my life, I′ve been wishing on eyelashes
For words to fit how I feel
All my life, in case you hadn't noticed
I′ve been driving around
Trying to find me a home


So don't give up on me now
Just ′cause you think you've already lost
I need your love now more than ever
Yes, it's selfish, I know
To want to make up
But if we don′t and you die
I′ll be left without feeling
Any love for you

So tell me what thrills you
What did you dream about last night?
Tell me why did you marry her?
And in your heart, did you always know we'd be all right?
Tell me, have you ever lost faith?
And just wanted to end it all

Or are you still mad at God for your whole life?
It′s like the bottom of the ninth in the batter's box
Showing up to watch your favorite band
While the band was packing up

So don′t give up on me now
Just 'cause you think you′ve already lost
I need you now more than ever
Yes, it's selfish I know to want to make up
But if we don't and you die
I′ll be left here without feeling


Any love for you
If we don′t and you die
I'll be left here without feeling
Any love for you
If we don′t and you die
I'll be left here without feeling loved by you

Okay, I give up
Let′s just call it even
