I give up by Lynn Miles - from the album Unravel âcapo on 3rd fret
I have drunk no well where the water was bitter and cold
I have numbed all my senses and cried for somebody to hold
I have lied to myself I have lived in regret
and I know that I ain t seen the end of it yet
but I know there s a light up ahead and it s waiting for me
Chorus:
I give up
cut me down
give me water give me love give me rest
I give up
cut me down
go ahead go ahead
I confess
I have wasted my time I have lost what I cherished the most
The house is on fire and the closets are filled with my ghost
I have lied to my self I have lived in the rain
and I know that it s bound to start pouring again
but I know that there s a light up ahead waiting for me
I give up
cut me down
give me water give me love give me rest
I give up
cut me down
go ahead go ahead
I confess
I wasted my time, I wasted my tears
I ran until I thought the coast was clear
but it never was now I ll surrender my pain and my tears
I give up
cut me down
give me water give me love give me rest
I give up
cut me down
go ahead go ahead
I confess
