The One Who Gave Up

(album: I Clung To You Hoping We'd Both Drown - 2011)

Hi, I know I promised that we'd talk more
It's just I, I'm surprised you even want to talk at all
Well you can refer to me as the one who still calls nervously
Because I'm so scared that you still think
I'm the one who gave up

When I, I, I, I, I, I wasn't the only one who'd given up
And all the plans we made were never mistakes
They just didn't work for us
So don't go pointing blame
At the ones who made you smile

You always knew
The deal that we made and what this was worth
That we'd try until the time
It stopped being fun and felt like real work

And I, I, I, I, I, I wasn't the only one who's feeling tired
Of all the shit you gave and the dick you made me into
So I tried, I swear to god I did, but the truth is this
Us, and everything it was, just wasn't enough
