So, I've been tryin' hard to open up When I lost someone, it hit me rough I paid to toughen up in therapy She said to me, "Soften Up" I'm sorry if I push your good away Especially when I'm needin' you to stay I know you hate that I still test your love I'm tryin' not to fuck this up But the benefit of all the broken hearts That I broke before they could break me Is a little bit of life regrets I won't bring that mess to you when you're with me And I wanna be brave enough to show you my not-so-perfect family And I wanna be brave enough for everything Surrender my heart (I'm out here in the open) I wanna get closer (I'll believe in you every night) Surrender my heart I wanna be open, I wanna be honest with you I used to soldier through my hardest days I used to switch it off, ignore the pain I craved to feel it all entirely In your arms, baby But the benefit of all the broken hearts That I broke before they could break me Is a little bit of life regrets I won't bring that mess to you when you're with me And I wanna be brave enough to show you my not-so-perfect family And I wanna be brave enough for everything Surrender my heart I'm out here in the open I wanna get closer I'll believe in you every night Surrender my heart I wanna be open, I wanna be honest with you I'll believe in you every night (na-na-na, na-na-na-na) Every night (na-na-na, na-na-na-na) Every night (I'll believe in you every night) I'll believe in you every night (na-na-na, na-na-na-na) Every night (na-na-na, na-na-na-na) Every night (I'll believe in you every night) Surrender my heart (I'm out here in the open) I wanna get closer (I'll believe in you every night) Surrender my heart I wanna be open, I wanna be honest with you

Oh, the city's alight with lovers and lies Bright blue eyes Oh, the city is bright It's brighter than day tonight Surrender, surrender Surrender, surrender Sadie said she couldn't work out What it was all about and so she let go Now Sadie's on the street And the people she meets you know She tried to be a good girl and a good wife Raise a good family, lead a good life It's not good enough She got herself up on the forty eighth floor Gotta find out, find out what she's living for Surrender, surrender Surrender, surrender Tonight... Oh, the city's afire A passionate flame It knows me by name Oh, the city's desire To take me for more and more It's in the street, getting under my feet It's in the air, it's everywhere I look for you It's in the things I do and say And if I wanna live I gotta Die to myself someday Papa sing my, sing my, sing my song Papa sing my, sing my, sing my song Papa sing my, sing my, sing my song Papa sing my, sing my, sing my song Surrender, surrender Surrender, surrender

It's difficult to see the end When you're walking with your worldly wisdom There's a shape in your eye, it's a cold dead violet We suffer the same but we suffer in silence So it's difficult to see the end You've arrived so bold And you started such a commotion I'd never say this but I hope you find Another place to call your own 'Cause I had a choice It ended in your debt I made myself invincible By making you invisible This old brittle world Can't take more, this means that You had a choice that you blissfully ignored You'll never break free from the walls that you built for me Never break free, it's just the faults of what you're living for And you beg me to stop, then beg for more And you are never gonna find yourself again Till you're on your own You stumble into the light Your silhouette on a brighter sky You stumble into the light It's gonna take many words to apologize Your fake graceful stare Empty thoughts 'cause there's nothing there Your rage won't compare You lost the plot and now no one cares You had a choice that you blissfully ignored You'll never break free from the walls that you built for me Never break free, it's just the faults of what you're living for And you beg me to stop, then beg for more And you are never gonna find yourself again Till you're on your own Till you're on your own You had a choice You had a choice You had a choice You had a choice You had a choice that you blissfully ignored You'll never break free from the walls that you built for me Never break free, it's just the faults of what you're living for And you beg me to stop, then beg for more And you are never gonna find yourself again Till you're on your own

She buries the clocks Times wide-open like her thoughts But you still make sense And I feel the weakness in your touch I am in repair, so much that no one cares Release the charm While I hold my hand over your mouth I would follow you down if you're still here I can't feel like I'm calling out your name We'll shake away the memories I know I feel the way you sin Just scream, "I won't surrender" This feels like plastic But on my own accord One day it makes you perfect A kind of treason that you live for But, my god, what have we done? I can't feel like I'm calling out your name We'll shake away the memories I know I feel the way you sin Just scream, "I won't surrender" Cross my heart My lips defend your tongue My face demands your touch We fake, but not enough You're gonna burn someday I'm calling out your name (we're gonna live forever) We'll shake away the memories I know I feel the way you sin (we're gonna live forever) Just scream, "I won't surrender"
