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 that makes you crazy

And you gave me that list of things about myself to change

And 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

An apathetic kind of self-defeat

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 give up

I give up on you now

I give up

How far can you fall

When you're already down?
