Okay I give up

Let's just call it even

Cause I can't keep waiting around for the perfect apology

And I'm sure you've said you're sorry

A thousand times

But my anger makes me deaf

Just ask my psychologists

So let's do this

Let's get to know each other for real

All my life I've been wishing on eyelashes

For words to fit how I feel

All my life in case you hadn't noticed

I've been driving around

Trying to find me a home

So don't give up on me now

Just cause you think you've already lost

I need your love now more than ever

Yes it's selfish I know

To want to make up

But if we don't and you die

I'll be left without feeling

Any love for you

So tell me what thrills you

What did you dream about last night

Why did you marry her

And in your heart did you always know we'd be all right

Tell me have you ever lost faith

And just wanted to end it all

Or are you still mad at god for your whole life

It's like the bottom of the ninth in the batter's box

Showing up to watch your favorite band

While the band was packing up

So don't give up on me now

Just cause you think you've already lost

I need you now more than ever

Yes it's selfish I know to want to make up

But if we don't and you die

I'll be left here without feeling

Any love for you

If we don't and you die

I'll be left here without feeling

Any love for you

If we don't and you die

I'll be left here without feeling loved by you

Okay I give up

Let's just call it even
