"Give Up Hard"

The path of my life
is littered with
lessons I refuse to give
a second thought, or let sink in

if I make it all the way to the end,
I win

I won't
give up
too easy

all of my life I give up
hard
always give up
too hard
all my commitments
I'm all in
completely

can't count the loss,
just give all
at all costs
blame it on our
lost cause,

I give up hard

I don't think you can count
time,
money,
effort,
energy spent
the cause was good for as long as you meant
I don't really think you can beat yourself up
for trying too hard
when you think
it's love

I won't
give up
too easy

all of my life I give up
hard
always give up
too hard
all my convictions
charge me
I'm guilty

I won't even plea, just throw
away the key,
heart body and soul
it's all me

I give up hard

I guess I can admit,
retrospect
is always a bitch, but guess what?
what's next?
do you really want a future protecting yourself
by killing what you could be to anyone else?

'cause I don't

give up
too easy

all of my life I give up
hard
always give up
too hard
all my commitments
I'm all in
completely

can't count the loss,
just give all
at all costs
blame it on our
lost cause,

I give up hard
