Giving You Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
What could you hope to achieve
When I'm crying and you know why?
How do you find your reasons in my deepest, darkest night?
I keep giving you up
I remember when you were my only friend
Now I'm not sure you can feel like that again
I keep giving you up

[Chorus]
And my, you know my mind's made up this time
There's no going back to find what we had
And I know there's no light here left to shine
There's no wrong where there's no right
So enough
I'm giving you up

[Verse 2]
All the things that you said
Well, you seem to forget
Dance around in my head every night
And there's a battle within that I'll never win
'Cause it's me that I'm up against
It’s my heart versus common sense
Can I give you up?
[Chorus]
And my, you know my mind's made up this time
There's no going back to find what we had
And I know there's no light here left to shine
There's no wrong where there's no right
So enough
I'm giving you up

[Bridge]
Strip the layers
Make me better
Help me get out clean
Show your colors
I'm slipping under
Help me through this, please

[Chorus]
And my, you know my mind's made up this time
There's no going back to find what we had
And I know there's no light here left to shine
There's no wrong where there's no right
So enough
I'm giving you up

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
My mind's made up
Yeah, yeah
I'm giving you up
I'm giving you up
Hey, yeah
I'm giving you up

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
