Giving up (on you) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It’s 8 o’clock, PM and I’m here
Waiting for you, I used to wait forever, never mind
You showed up, hand in my pocket
So there we go, we’re close but we’re cold

[Bridge]
I learned to love the rain, it washed away the pain
Now I’m moving on

[Verse 2]
Ten months have passed, seemed like so long but
Time really flies, when I orbit around you
You were my center, pulled me into you
But stars don’t live forever, the lost onеs are more beautiful anyway

[Pre Chorus]
Woah-oh, and I can’t movе on
Woah-oh, oh I can’t move on

[Chorus 1]
I’m giving up on you, even though it’s true
I’m never moving on

I’m waiting here for you, I’m lost and I’m askew
I know you’re never really gone, I know you’re never really gone
[Verse 3]
I find myself in different realms, hide from cards that were never dealt, oh woah woah
Escape from my reality, I’m hiding and you’ll never see, yeah ooh ooh
Nothing ever seems to help, I’d lock myself in different cells
Then go and break the prison doors, crawl back to you wanting some more
You could strike my head and bullshit falls, I push it more and break the walls
I was climbing up but falling off, I took a step and paid the cost

[Chorus 2]
I’m giving up on you, even though it’s true
That I’m never moving on
I’m waiting here for you, I’m lost and I’m askew
I know you’re never really gone

[Outro]
Know you’re never really gone (ooh, ooh)
Know you're never really gone, woah, ooh woah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
