Give me your best "giving up" lyrics?

“Walk alone a lovers lane,
pass the kisses in the rain.
They’re in love, where am I?”

The Weepies – They’re In love, Where Am I?

And I’m Done, done; on to the next one
Done, done, and I’m on to the next one
Done, done, and I’m on to the next one
Done, done, and I’m on to the next one

All My Life – Foo Fighters

Well… you didn’t wake up this morning
Because you didn’t go to bed
You were watching the whites of your eyes
Turn red
The calendar, on your wall, is ticking the days off
You’ve been reading some old letters
You smile and think how much you’ve changed
All the money in the world
Couldn’t bring back those days.
You pull back the curtains, and the sun burns into your eyes,
You watch a plane flying across a clear blue sky.
This is the day, your life will surely change.
This is the day, when things fall into place.
You could’ve done anything—if you’d wanted
And all your friends and family think that you’re lucky.
But the side of you they’ll never see
Is when you’re left alone with the memories
That hold your life together like
Glue

This Is The Day – The The

“And I know it’s over – still I cling
I don’t know where else I can go
Over and over and over and over
Over and over…”

“It’s so easy to laugh
It’s so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over, over, over, over
It’s so easy to laugh
It’s so easy to hate
It takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over, over
Love is Natural and Real
But not for you, my love
Not tonight, my love
Love is Natural and Real
But not for such as you and I, my love
Oh Mother, I can feel the soil falling over my head”

I Know It’s Over The Smiths

Those are all great, but special lurve to Auggie. Thank you for the one that screams “take control of it”!

I’m saving the other 2 for the next time I’m feeling weaker… about tuesday, I reckon. Thank you for those also.

“Daddy, You Been on My Mind” Bob Dylan
Don’t Think Twice” Dylan
“Sure like to See You Sometime” Joni Mitchell

From Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd

There is no pain you are receding
A distant ship, smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying.
When I was a child
I caught a fleeting glimpse
Out of the corner of my eye
I turned to look but it was gone
I cannot put my finger on it now
The child is grown,
The dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

@Cruiser I could feel that going thru my head. Great choice.

Just Not Just – Guggenheim Grotto

So, so, so there’s this girl on a hill with a kite strapped to her back
She’s crying, “come on, hurry, blow;
pick me up and throw me skywards.”
She’s got a prayer in her mouth and she’s done all of the math
She’s got a feather for a heart, but it still doesn’t guarantee her

So there’s this boy on a hill with a hammer in his hand
He’s shouting fire in the sky, “come on, turn me into something special.”
And then a storm whips up and the heavens are alive
And he’s wearing copper shoes but it still doesn’t guarantee him

‘Cause not everything you run to wants you
It’s just not just it’s not just it’s just wrong
And not everything you love will love you
It’s just not just it’s not just it’s just wrong

;)

How about giving up, but, then a bit of hope? (this song makes me cry like a baby)

(Peter Gabriel)

Don’t Give Up

In this proud land we grew up strong
We were wanted all along
I was taught to fight, taught to win
I never thought I could fail

No fight left or so it seems
I am a man whose dreams have all deserted
I’ve changed my face, I’ve changed my name
But no one wants you when you lose

Don’t give up
‘cos you have friends
Don’t give up
You’re not beaten yet
Don’t give up
I know you can make it good

Though I saw it all around
Never thought I could be affected
Thought that we’d be the last to go
It is so strange the way things turn

Drove the night toward my home
The place that I was born, on the lakeside
As daylight broke, I saw the earth
The trees had burned down to the ground

Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up
We don’t need much of anything
Don’t give up
‘cause somewhere there’s a place
Where we belong

Rest your head
You worry too much
It’s going to be alright
When times get rough
You can fall back on us
Don’t give up
Please don’t give up

‘got to walk out of here
I can’t take anymore
Going to stand on that bridge
Keep my eyes down below
Whatever may come
And whatever may go
That river’s flowing
That river’s flowing

Moved on to another town
Tried hard to settle down
For every job, so many men
So many men no-one needs

Don’t give up
‘cause you have friends
Don’t give up
You’re not the only one
Don’t give up
No reason to be ashamed
Don’t give up
You still have us
Don’t give up now
We’re proud of who you are
Don’t give up
You know it’s never been easy
Don’t give up
‘cause I believe there’s the a place
There’s a place where we belong

@mama_cakes Nice

Wow @mama_cakes. Just. Wow. Thank you so much.

@BarnacleBill do you happen to have a link to that song? I’d love to hear it.

@Cruiser One of my alltime favorites. thanks for reminding me

@lucillelucillelucille , like I told you, that was ideal.

If I’m pissed off about it, then:

“Fuck the pain away. Fuck the pain away.” – Song

With my mood now, this song appeals to me. “More than this – there is nothing.”

Sia: I’m in here :

I’m in here, can anybody see me?
Can anybody help?

I’m in here, a prisoner of history,
Can anybody help?

Can’t you hear my call?
Are you coming to get me now?
I’ve been waiting for,
You to come rescue me,
I need you to hold,
All of the sadness I can not,
Living inside of me.

I’m in here, I’m trying to tell you something,
Can anybody help?

I’m in here, I’m calling out but you can’t hear,
Can anybody help?

The song is beautiful too…my favourite at the moment!

Don Henley ‘The heart of the matter’

..and I think it’s about forgiveness, forgiveness, even if, even if, you don’t love me anymore.

The BEST words ever written! ;-)

I’ve given up
I’m sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say

Take this all away
I’m suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong
With me

Linkin Park – Given Up

Hold on this will hurt more than anything has before
What it was, what it was, what it was
I’ve brought this on us more than anyone could ignore
What I’ve done, what I’ve done, what I’ve done

I’ve worked for so long just to see you mess around
What you’ve done, what you’ve done, what you’ve done
I want back the years that you took when I was young
I was young, I was young but it’s done

Oh, take it all away
I don’t feel it anymore
Oh, take it all away

Oh, take it all away
I don’t feel it anymore
Oh, take it all away

We’ll fall just like stars being hung by only string
Everything, everything, here is gone
No map can direct how to ever make it home
We’re alone, we’re alone, we’re alone

Oh, take it all away
I don’t feel it anymore
Oh, take it all away

Oh, take it all away
I don’t feel it anymore
Oh, take it all away

I Don’t Feel It Anymore – William Fitzsimmons

Where do you go when your luck runs out
Yeah, where do you go
Where do you go now
And where do you go when you feel like cryin’
Where do you go
Where do you go now

Won’t you come inside with me today
You could stay inside with me today
Can’t you see it’s gonna rain

And how do you feel when the lights go out
How do you feel
How do you feel alone
And how do you feel when there’s no one there
On the other end of the phone

Won’t you come inside with me today
You just stay inside with me today
Can’t you see it’s gonna rain
Yeah, can’t you see it’s gonna rain
Yeah, it’s gonna rain

And don’t you wanna get warm
And don’t you wanna get dry
And don’t you wanna stay
Can’t you see it’s gonna rain

So won’t you come inside with me today
‘cause I can see it’s gonna rain
Yeah, I can see it’s gonna rain
Can’t you see it’s gonna rain
Oh, I can see it’s gonna rain

Gotta get my head together, yeah
Gotta get my thinkin’ straight
Gotta keep my mind from racin’
But it might be too late
Well it might be too late

Cuz these demons in my head
They just won’t wait
They just won’t wait

I feel just like a failure
Well maybe I am
Say it and give you somethin’ better
But I don’t think I can
Well I don’t think I can

Cuz I got nothin’ else
In my hands
Yeah in my hands

And all these things I’m feelin’
Maybe I don’t wanna say
Maybe I’m just tired
Or maybe I’m not brave
Well maybe I’m not brave

Well maybe I’m afraid I can’t
Maybe I’m afraid I can’t

So come on over here
I don’t wanna be alone
But if you’re busy dear
I’ll see you later on, yeah
I’ll see you later on, yeah
I’ll see you later

Rainy Day Lament – Joe Purdy

@DrasticDreamer I knew you listened to Fitzsimmons but I didn’t know you also liked Joe Purdy. Love them both.

Watching the hole it used to be mine
Just watching it burn in my steady systematic decline
of the trust I will betray
Give it to me I’ll throw it away
After everything I’ve done I hate myself for what I’ve become
I tried
I gave up
NIN – Gave Up

Cellophane Man

“Mister Cellophane should have been my name
because you can look right through me
walk right by me and never know I’m there
Never even know I’m there.”

How can I go forward when I don’t know which way I’m facing?
How can I go forward when I don’t know which way to turn?
How can I go forward into something I’m not sure of?
Oh no, oh no
How can I have feeling when I don’t know if it’s a feeling?
How can I feel something if I just don’t know how to feel?
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied?
Oh no, oh no

You know life can be long
And you got to be so strong
And the world is so tough
Sometimes I feel I’ve had enough

How can I give love when I don’t know what it is I’m giving?
How can I give love when I just don’t know how to give?
How can I give love when love is something I ain’t never had?
Oh no, oh no

You know life can be long
You’ve got to be so strong
And the world she is tough
Sometimes I feel I’ve had enough

How can we go forward when we don’t know which way we’re facing?
How can we go forward when we don’t know which way to turn?
How can we go forward into something we’re not sure of?
Oh no, oh no

I miss you Johnny

I’ve always really liked this song by Garbage.

The Theift – Atreyu Don’t think. Just listen.

Reckless and indiscreet,
I’m hypnotized beyond belief.
Listen to my battle song,
Cuz it’s dissin’ you all night long.
A new disaster’s at my feet,
Of abuse and things I can’t repeat.
Desperate and giving in,
I don’t know where to begin.
It’s hopeless,
I’m caving in.
Hopeless,
I can’t win.

I’m going out of my head,
I feel like I’m dead,
I’m feeling lo-fi.
I bottle up and explode,
And my engines have blown,
Some things I can’t hide,
I’m feeling lo-fi.

Reckless and indiscreet,
I’m hypnotized without release.
I’m losing that special charm,
I’m played out I can’t go on.
Conversations without wings,
With much advice I start to scream.
Desperate and giving in,
I don’t know where to begin.
It’s hopeless,
I’m caving in.
Hopeless,
I can’t win.

I’m going out of my head,
I feel like I’m dead,
I’m feeling lo-fi.
I bottle up and explode,
And my engines have blown,
Some things I can’t hide,
I’m feeling lo-fi.

I’m here to blow it sky high and let it fly,
Time waits for no one and that is why…

I’m going out of my head,
I feel like I’m dead,
I’m feeling lo-fi.
I bottle up and explode,
And my engines have blown,
Some things I can’t hide.

I’m going out of my head,
And I feel like I’m dead,
I’m feeling lo-fi.

-The Exies, Lo-Fi

“I built my life like a bike
on a rigid frame
nothing bends
it only breaks in two
I’m going off the deep end.”

or

“I’ma pick the world up and drop it on your #$#%# head”

or

“I’m giving in to you”

Ones of this nature.
