Lyrics
I GIVE UP
(John Cleghorn)
I give up, on you lovin me
I give in, to your uncertainty
Here I am, turned away
I remember a time not long ago
When you promised me your heart
And you gathered up your dreams at my door
Now I dont wanna laugh and I dont wanna cry
And I just dont wanna feel nothing anymore
I give up on you loving me
I give in, to the absurdity
Here I am, I drink your poison slow
Now it is a part of me and something deep has died
And no matter how I try its no good
And if loving mes a burden and your kindness such a chore
Well then maybe we aint worth it anymore
I give up
And I cannot lift my eyes to see you
I cannot lift my arms to reach you
I cannot lift my voice above the silence of your heart
I give up on you loving me
I give in, to the powers that be
Here I am, I watch your picture fade
And my heart is out of rhythm and my stars will not line up,
And my planets lose their way from the sun
Now Im floating in the ocean
Now Im circling the sky
And my love for you is slipping out of sight
I give up
