Giving Up
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I used to make the light shine for you
The Sun has left my sky
Velvet walls surround my sorrows
I've sacrificed my pride
Giving up on me
You're giving up on me
Giving up on me
You\'re giving up on me
I've laid myself to sleep tonight
I know you've played out everything in your mind
And now you throw it all away
A shattered memory that you would stay
Through thick and thin with me
You're giving up on
Giving up on me
You're giving up on me
Giving up on me
You're giving up on me
I've laid myself to sleep tonight
I know you've played out everything in your mind, your mind
And now you throw it all away
A shattered memory that you would stay
Through thick and thin with me
And when you feel the pain
I'm wishing I could stay
How can I say I love you back
You never made me happy
You've laid yourself to sleep!
I never said this wouldn't hurt
You gave up everything!
I never said I'd give it back
I know! (I know!)
You'll never change!
I won't be good enough for you
I know! (I know!)
You'll make it through
I'll never be around to see
And now you throw it all away
A shattered memory that you would stay
Through thick and thin with me
You're giving up on me
