Giving Me Up

How many times have I tried

To get over myself over night

I’ve lost count, of the ways your eyes

Have hit me in the morning

To see I’m still alive

I’m still alive

 

Your silence is giving me up

I think that I might have had enough

All of the distance, spreading in my chest

Never imagined you’d ever be giving me up

All of your sadness, spreading in my chest

Never imagined you’d ever be giving me up

 

How many times did we lie

Laughed at ourselves til we cried

I’ve lost count of the ways that you sigh

When it hits you when its over

That you’re still alive

You’re still alive

 

Your silence is giving me up

I think that I might have had enough

All of the distance, spreading in my chest

Never imagined you’d ever be giving me up

All of your sadness, spreading in my chest

Never imagined you’d ever be giving me up

 

Tied like the fates to just one more loose tooth

Making mistakes on the way

All of the times that I needed you, needed you to say

Anything, anything at all

To keep me alive

To keep us alive

To keep this alive

 

Your silence is giving me up

I think that I might have had enough

All of the distance, spreading in my chest

Never imagined you’d ever be giving me up

All of your sadness, spreading in my chest

Never imagined you’d ever be giving me up
