Surrender, mm
Surrender, mm
I can make a list, a million things I need to fix
I make everyone crazy, is it somethin' about me?
I keep tightenin' my grip, but I aim so much I miss
And I'm fightin' the river
When I try to hold it all together
But it's just not gettin' better
Surrender, mm
Surrender, mm (ooh-ah)
It's breakin' my heart 'cause I don't understand
Why so much is out of my hands
I have to remember
Surrender
Oh, I keep learnin' the hard way
Oh, keep forgettin' how to pray
Someone tell me I'm okay
I climbed a mountain, I could not rеsist
And I hit bottom at the top of it
I was broken wide opеn
There's a freedom in the free-fall
Wanna scream, but I whisper
Surrender, mm
Surrender, oh
Oh, surrender ('cause I don't understand)
(I might just surrender instead)
I've got to remember ('cause I don't understand)
(Why so much is out of my hands) ooh
(I have to remember) ooh
(Let me surrender, surrender)
Surrender, mm (ah)
