I Give Up

No it was never the sex with you
It was everything else we wanted to do
But oh how you lit a fire or two
The day you let me touch you

One of these nights
I'll just be out with it
"I love her but I love you two"
And neither of us will know what to do
Silence will be our answer

I give up, I give in
I'm just numb and lying here to myself all alone
Won't you come home?

You're the one night stand that'll last me the rest of my life
The sum of my greatest parts
My almost future wife

And I bleed the midwest
It's in my bones
And I truly miss you all
But I mostly miss that blonde-haired girl
Who tells me not to call

I give up, I give in
My love walked out the door and took my life it
And I hate this fucking town

Beat me up, shoot me down
But don't you dare say nothing
When I tell you "darling," that "I love you"
At the end of every call

Ain't you lonesome now
Ain't you loathsome now

I give up, I give in
Every sleight and every sin
I gave you plenty
You never gave me any

It's all my fault and it always was
All the scars and all the broken stars
You wished on, you wished on

Maybe some day I'll be forgiven for this
But until then don't do you dare try and forget me
Don't forget me

I give up I give in
I hope that someday we can start again
And you'll love me like I love you
