Giving Up Songtext
von Tim Barry

I didn′t go where you told me 'cause my feet went the other way
And I don′t like being talked to the way you talked to me today
Don't ask where I'm going, you ain′t coming anyway
School is out and it′s quiet here and I like things this way

Ain't never been perfect like you expect of me
And I won′t get forced into being what I ain't meant to be
You get yours in knowing all and I get mine in blame
You make threats of leaving, Lord, and that′s alright by me

Do you ever feel like giving up?
Have you had enough?
Do you ever feel like I am your worst enemy?
I can't help that I′m trying and I, I been doing fine
Yeah I'm, I'm doing fine, finally


I didn′t say what you wanted, I never do anyway
And I don′t like being lied to the way you lied to me today
I know where this is going and it ain't going my way
But I′m strong as hell, I always been, and I'll always be that way

Do you ever feel like giving up?
Have you had enough?
Do you ever feel like you are your worst enemy?
I can′t help that I ain't crying and I, I been doing fine
Yeah, I′m, I'm doing fine, finally

You keep howling at the moon
I'll sleep in my own room
And rise with each day feeling great

Man, I feel like giving up
Yeah, I′ve, I′ve had enough
I am not my worst enemy
I can't help that I tried and I′m, I'm doing fine
Yeah I′m, I'm doing fine for me

(Did you record that?)
