give/UP

I’ve been putting off for days
A visitation to your grave
The only reason I can find
Is because I’m guilty of
So many matters of the mind
So little matters in my heart
You used to blame me all the time
Eventually, we fell apart

Give up, just give up
I’ll see you when I’m through
Give up, just give up
I’ve given up on you, ooh

Many years ago you said
That life alone is worth a bitch
When you were drunk, I found myself
Hangin’ on your every word
Fired circuits in your brain
I’ve walked on eggshells, couldn’t last
How do you cope with all your pain
When you can’t talk about your past?

Give up, just give up
I’ll see you when I’m through, ooh
Give up, just give up
I’ve given up on you
You’ve given up on me
Please, leave me be

Every time I breathe, the memories return to me at lighting speed
Sudden sympathy invades the very fiber of my vicious being
I remember finding you alone inside a room, calling my name
For a moment on a Monday morning, I regret running away

Know that I’m the selfish one
After all the strife you made
The only way to make it right
Remains a question in my life
So many matters take up time
So little matters in this life
You used to blame me feeling fine
I think you know it’s all a lie

Give up, just give up
I’ll see you when I’m through, ooh
Give up, just give up
I’ve given up on you
You’ve given up on me
Please, leave me be
