I Give Up - The Edge

I never saw it coming Got me blindsided When you said that you were tired "I quit" and with a shrug you closed your eyes But maybe, just maybe's for the best Cause I give up I give up I wish you good luck But, darling I give up It hurts so bad I never felt so sad But, darling I give up You deserve better Something I can't provide I wish you were still the one but our love is a lie I never meant to break you And I hate to see you cry If only it was easier to say goodbye Cause I give up I give up I wish you good luck But, darling I give up It hurts so bad I never felt so sad But, darling I give up I'm sorry I hurt you I'm sorry I hurt you But I give up I give up I wish you good luck But, darling I give up Oh, I give up I give up I wish you good luck But, darling I give up It hurts so bad I never felt so sad But I give up Oh, I give up I give up On us

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?

When I look into your eyes It's like watching the night sky Or a beautiful sunrise Well, there's so much they hold And just like them old stars I see that you've come so far To be right where you are How old is your soul? I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up And when you're needing your space To do some navigating I'll be here patiently waiting To see what you find 'Cause even the stars they burn Some even fall to the earth We've got a lot to learn God knows we're worth it Oh, I won't give up I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make Our differences, they do a lot to teach us How to use the tools and gifts, we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake And in the end, you're still my friend, at least we did intend For us to work we didn't break, we didn't burn We had to learn how to bend, without the world caving in I had to learn what I got, and what I'm not and who I am I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up, I'm still looking up I won't give up We got a lot to learn God knows we're worth it I won't give up on us Even if the skies get rough I'm giving you all my love I'm still looking up
