Surrender

I've been tryin' just to shrug it off
I thought I had it figured out and all
Attack, retreat; rinse, and then repeat
I've been tryin' put it all on you
When it's clear that it takes two
To fight, to win; to lose, or to defeat

Looked at the bigger picture
And it ain't worth the pain
I asked myself baby, "what's the gain?"

So I surrender
I'm going under
I'm waving my flag in the air
And I ain't turning back nowhere
I chose my battles
And faced my downfall
But I'm not fighting anymore, I'll lay my weapons down
It's all up to you now

I took a step outside of myself
I looked around and justified my guilt
So tell me babe, why can't you do the same?
It could be us against the world
Like it was all those times before
If we both owned up to all our shame

Look at the bigger picture
Is it all worth the pain?
Ask yourself baby, "what's the gain?"

I surrender
I'm going under
I'm waving my flag in the air
And I ain't turning back nowhere
I chose my battles
And faced my downfall
But I'm not fighting anymore, I'll lay my weapons down
It's all up to you now

All of this blood we've spilt
Oh baby, what's the use
Can't we just call a truce
Then shake hands at the border?
You say, "there's no reversing the damage"
But there are no wounds that can't be bandaged

So I surrender
I'm going under
I'm waving my flag in the air
And I ain't turning back nowhere
I chose my battles
And faced my downfall
But I'm not fighting anymore, I'll lay my weapons down
It's all up to you now
