lyrics

ive waited 2 years for the sun to shine
still in my place at the back of the line
words and intentions, fucked up long ago
just give me a call to let me know

youre at home safe in your bed
none of its true, the shit i read
countless times ive given up hope
wound back up, noose on my throat
jump to the ground, and hope for the best
i aimed for the clouds, but hit dirt instead
bodys worn thin, but still theres hope
i wont end up, at the bottom of the rope

i didn't give up
i just gave in

the chase is still on, but my legs are giving out
i can no longer run, i can only handle so much
i didnt give up i just gave in

your dreams won't come true unless you wake up
open your eyes and let me step inside
ive waited so long for you to figure out yourself
i didn't give up, i just gave in

I ruined everything
but I swear I'm fine on my own
that comfort I lost so long ago
Ive never found my own home
holding on to my last breath of hope

I'm scared I need you more than you'll ever know
I'm scared I need you more than you'll ever know

i didnt give up i just gave in
i didnt give up i just gave in
i just gave in
i just gave in
