I Gave Up
When I was younger it was all pretend
Everything was innocent and then
I had to make a choice between a lover and a friend
Chose the lover in the end
I gave up on that a long long time ago
She turned me into things that weren't me
And I'd arrived somewhere I wasn't bound to be
And I was facing fears that I would struggle to conceive
So I took my chance to leave
I gave up on that a long long time ago
I gave up on that a long long time ago
She really was the meanest thing I ever saw
I witnessed her creative cruelty in awe
I tried my best with her and I guess that she tried too
But all it did was make her green and make me blue
La la la la la la la la la
I gave up on that a long long time ago
I gave up on that a long long time ago
Just when I thought that I was blown out of control
I busted out and I was saved by rock and roll
Poured all my energy into a cheap guitar
And set my eyes on all the prizes you need to be a star
Now after all these years it's not the same
And only teenage fools should lust for fame
Paying dues so long I just got tired of the game
And with no one else to blame
I gave up on that a long long time ago
I gave up on that a long long time ago
I gave up on that a long long time ago
Everything was innocent and then
I had to make a choice between a lover and a friend
Chose the lover in the end
I gave up on that a long long time ago
She turned me into things that weren't me
And I'd arrived somewhere I wasn't bound to be
And I was facing fears that I would struggle to conceive
So I took my chance to leave
I gave up on that a long long time ago
I gave up on that a long long time ago
She really was the meanest thing I ever saw
I witnessed her creative cruelty in awe
I tried my best with her and I guess that she tried too
But all it did was make her green and make me blue
La la la la la la la la la
I gave up on that a long long time ago
I gave up on that a long long time ago
Just when I thought that I was blown out of control
I busted out and I was saved by rock and roll
Poured all my energy into a cheap guitar
And set my eyes on all the prizes you need to be a star
Now after all these years it's not the same
And only teenage fools should lust for fame
Paying dues so long I just got tired of the game
And with no one else to blame
I gave up on that a long long time ago
I gave up on that a long long time ago
I gave up on that a long long time ago
