Surrender Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've always told me that you know me
But you don't really know me at all (No)
You just played me and betrayed me
And showed no sympathy at all, no

[Chorus]
Why can't you just please surrender?
Surrender what you promised
Surrender what I need
Why can't you just see that sweet surrender in me?
One time, surrender to me

[Verse 2]
So, will you stand tall and be accountable?
And tell that little girl you lied (Oh no)
And how you lost it, I'm so exhausted
And this is where I draw the line for the last time

[Chorus]
Why can't you just pleasе surrender?
Surrendеr what you promised
Surrender what I need
Oh, baby
Why can't you just see that sweet surrender in me?
One time, surrender to me
[Bridge]
I'm done wastin' time
So sick of your lies
And every time, you seem to change your mind
Manipulate
So quick to hate
A true master of your art you demonstrate
But I need a break from you
I need to separate from you
I need to keep my faith and do all the other things I promised you
Why you always make me wait on you?
I really need a break from you
I need to keep my faith and do all the other things I promised you
I really need a break (Break)
I really need a break (Break)
I really need a break, break, break, break, break

[Chorus]
Why can't you just please surrender?
Surrender what you promised
Surrender what I need
Oh, baby
Why can't you just see that sweet surrender in me?
One time, surrender to me

[Outro]
Surrender to me (To me, to me)
Surrender to me
