Givin' Up

An Original Song by Amy Alls

I’ve given you my heart
And I’ve given you my time
I’ve given you too much of myself
But not enough of a piece of my mind

I’ve given you all of my yesterdays
Straight on through to my todays
‘Til the only thing I have left to give is
Up on you

I’m givin’ up on the same ol’ thing every night
I’m givin’ up on lazy Sunday afternoons
I’m givin’ up on givin’ in to all your little whims, oh
Babe, I’m givin’ up on you

You’ve been holdin’ me back for way too long
And I can’t wear these chains anymore
It’s time to get goin’ til’ the goin’s got gone
And I’m gonna start by walkin’ right out the door

I’ve given you my hopes
And I’ve given you my dreams
I’ve given you all of my money too
In support of all your hair-brained schemes

I’ve given you all of the patience God gave me
‘Til somethin’ inside of me snapped
Now the only thing I have left to give is
Up on you

I’m givin’ up on your stinky ol’ socks everywhere
I’m givin’ up on that lazy eye
I’m givin’ up on givin’ you everything I’ve got to give, oh
Babe, I’m givin’ up on you

You’ve been holdin’ me back for way too long
And I can’t wear these chains anymore
It’s time to get goin’ til’ the goin’s got gone
And I’m gonna start by walkin’ right out the door

It’s time to get goin’ til’ the goin’s got gone
And I’m gonna start by walkin’ right out the door
