I challenged the odds, I cursed at the sky,
I held my own banner up so high,
I weathered the storm, I widened my stride,
I stood on my strength to get me by...but it got me nowhere.
So I'm giving up, 'cause I am so tired of trying to be so real,
And I'm giving in, hoping that your love can make up the space I feel.
The fight is all gone; I'm letting you win,
I'm taking my guard down - come on in,
I'm hoping I find, as I unlock my door, you'll make me sorry I didn't do this before...and I think I already am.
I'm giving up, 'cause I am so tired of trying to be so real,
I'm giving in, hoping that your love can make up the space I feel,
I'm giving up, 'cause I'm not as strong as I always pretend to be,
I'm giving in, hoping that your love can make some sense of me.
I'm giving up.
I'm giving up, 'cause I am so tired of trying to be so real,
And I'm giving in, hoping that your love can make up the space I feel,
I'm giving up, 'cause I'm not as strong as I always pretend to be,
And I'm giving in, believing that your love can make some sense of... some sense of me.
