Giving Up Ground
Everybody knows that it don't feel right
I was waitin' up in your darkest nights
Why's it always hurt when you need it most?
Never wanted love, I just fake my part
Never got enough when I wanted your heart
Why do I just sink when I'm tryin' to float?
But you know I'm done pretendin' I'm wrong when it's not my fault
And baby, I'm done pretending it's love, when it's not your all
Tell the next girl all the things that you told me
All you let slip, 'cause you were hurt and you were lonely
I've found that giving up ground ain't what I want, yeah
Both our names carved in my bedroom door
Nightmares of you and I we can't ignore
How was I sold on the idea of us in the first place?
For sale signs on whatever once was ours
Hate sayin' you're the reason I have these scars
But you left me thinkin' that I was out of line to need space
But you know I'm done pretending I'm wrong when it's not my fault
And baby, I'm done pretending it's love, when it's not your all
Tell the next girl all the things that you told me
All you let slip, 'cause you were hurt and you were lonely
I've found that giving up ground ain't what I want, yeah
Tell the next girl all the things that you told me
All you let slip, 'cause you were hurt and you were lonely
I've found that giving up ground ain't what I want
Giving up ground ain't what I want
Giving up ground ain't what I want (ain't what I want)
Giving up ground...
I was waitin' up in your darkest nights
Why's it always hurt when you need it most?
Never wanted love, I just fake my part
Never got enough when I wanted your heart
Why do I just sink when I'm tryin' to float?
But you know I'm done pretendin' I'm wrong when it's not my fault
And baby, I'm done pretending it's love, when it's not your all
Tell the next girl all the things that you told me
All you let slip, 'cause you were hurt and you were lonely
I've found that giving up ground ain't what I want, yeah
Both our names carved in my bedroom door
Nightmares of you and I we can't ignore
How was I sold on the idea of us in the first place?
For sale signs on whatever once was ours
Hate sayin' you're the reason I have these scars
But you left me thinkin' that I was out of line to need space
But you know I'm done pretending I'm wrong when it's not my fault
And baby, I'm done pretending it's love, when it's not your all
Tell the next girl all the things that you told me
All you let slip, 'cause you were hurt and you were lonely
I've found that giving up ground ain't what I want, yeah
Tell the next girl all the things that you told me
All you let slip, 'cause you were hurt and you were lonely
I've found that giving up ground ain't what I want
Giving up ground ain't what I want
Giving up ground ain't what I want (ain't what I want)
Giving up ground...
