I Surrender

A dark song, for a dark mood. I guess everyone's felt this way sometime.

-----

This life, it ain't fair
I've been walking around for ages now
And all everyone does is stare

And this world, it ain't true
You can fight it, survive it, revive it,
But it does nothing for you

So take away what I've got
Strip me down to the core
If I'm not gonna do, what I'm meant to do
What's the point of giving me more?

So take away who I am
Bring me back on the floor
If I'm not gonna be, who I'm meant to be
Why waste another tomorrow?

All the people, they don't care
I could try my best, to impress the rest
But they ain't ever gonna share

And the things I put myself through, it ain't worth it
With my confidence low, I ain't ever gonna grow
How did I dream of making it big?

So take away what I've got
Strip me down to the core
If I'm not gonna do, what I'm meant to do
What's the point of giving me more?

So take away who I am
Bring me back on the floor
If I'm not gonna be, who I'm meant to be
Why waste another tomorrow?

Enough is enough
I've got no strength
To carry on like this

I've got to give up
I can take no more
Of a life with no bliss

So take away what I've got
Strip me down to the core
If I'm not gonna do, what I'm meant to do
What's the point of giving me more?

So take away who I am
Bring me back on the floor
If I'm not gonna be, who I'm meant to be
Why waste another tomorrow?

No... No...
I give up
I surrender
I can't go on
So get me back to the ground
And don't waste another tomorrow on me

Don't waste another ... tomorrow on me.

  1. Interesting, but the feeling has to fade. Or it can take away a lot from these years in the form of useless tears.
