GIVE IT UP

CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR
WHO OR WHAT YOU TRY TO SCORE
LATE NIGHTS FULL OF THINGS YOU CAN'T REWIND
LIE TO HER SO BABY SOFT
DO THE DAMAGE, LAUGH IT OFF
I HAVE TO SAY IT COMES AS NO SURPRISE

AND ONE DAY SOON
I HOPE YOU WAKE UP AND BELIEVE
THAT THERE IS ANOTHER WAY

YOU KNOW THE ANSWERS
BUT PRETEND THAT YOU CAN'T SEE
SAY IT'S SO HARD TO BEHAVE

GIVE IT UP NOW
IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW
GIVE IT UP AND CARRY ON YOUR LIFE

PLAYING OUT YOUR FANTASY
THE ONE YOU HAD AT 23
WE'VE MOVED ON AND YOU'VE STAYED INCOMPLETE
BAR STARS AND NOBODIES
SOME REGRETS AND FEW LIKE ME
HOLDING UP YOUR TROPHIES OF DEFEAT

AND ALL I'M ASKING
IS TO LISTEN AND BELIEVE
THAT THERE IS SOMETHING TO SAVE

YOU KNOW THE ANSWERS
BUT PRETEND THAT YOU CAN'T SEE
SAY IT'S SO HARD TO BEHAVE

GIVE IT UP NOW
IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW
GIVE IT UP AND CARRY ON YOUR LIFE
