Giving You Up

We're not going to get over this

No common sense anywhere in sight

Strangers merely passing in the night

To what end are we arriving at?

Love is breaking and hearts are aching.

 

You ask and take and never give back

Know that you are testing my limits

The final straw snaps within my fist

Rules don't matter to you anymore,

And I'm about to blow the whistle

So do I keep trying to love you?

Do I labor on and work things out?

I stand upon undecisive ground.

 

A needle's fall is heard around you

Full blown looks of ice upon your face...

Commitment's not a part of your world.

What is it you really want from me?

I'm having a hard time loving you

Thinking of the tension on the line

Of fear and doubt, whenever it snaps.

 

You don't understand how I see you

Wouldn't you be different if you could?

Get a clue, you aren't acting yourself.

This wonderful heart that I once met

From the dove to the hungry raven

Any hope I had is almost lost

Other times I know we can make it

Guy and girl, we can come together

 

I want you to see my heart tearing

Just glance inside my eyes and witness

Wanna know how my heart still lives?

Tell me, would you glance in the mirror?

You who became something so obtuse?

How can you toss away my feelings?

I'm breaking down, do you not see me?

Feeling is lost and the mind is numb

 

Gotta show you where we are in time

Make you see the darkness between us

You are blind, but let me help you see

Understand my despairing last cry

 

Never more will you play with my time,

Gonna set you straight, put you in line.

Give me your true, everloving heart

You will really truly be surprised

Up above, read the first word on every line.
