I held on for too long
With your name trapped on my lips
My hand has grown tired
Of trying to close this door
My chest is burning
But I pretend everything is fine
If I fall, let me fall
If I call out, don't come running
There's a knot in my voice
That won't come undone
And I know
I give up today, I give up today
My heart is gasping for air
I give up today, I give up today
No more tearing myself apart
I give up today, I give up today
I'm not going back to that place
(I give up today) (I give up today)
I watched you leave behind
The bitter taste of the afternoon
Your scent on the sheets
Turned the house into a wasteland
I washed away every memory
But your trace still invades me
If I fall, let me fall
If I call out, don't come running
There's a knot in my voice
That won't come undone
And I know
I give up today, I give up today
My heart is gasping for air
I give up today, I give up today
No more tearing myself apart
I give up today, I give up today
I'm not going back to that place
(I give up today) (I give up today)
Today I let go of your shadow
From my skin, slowly
If love has turned to stone
I won't carry the weight
I deserve the morning
Without this heaviness in my eyes
I give up today, I give up today
My heart is gasping for air
I give up today, I give up today
No more tearing myself apart
I give up today, I give up today
I'm finding myself again
(I give up today) (I give up today)
