Giving Up Ground

Everybody knows that it don't feel right

I was waiting up in your darkest nights

Why's it always hurt when you need it most?

Never wanted love, I just fake my part

Never got enough when I wanted your heart

Why do I just sink when I'm trying to float?

But you know I'm done pretending I'm wrong when it's not my fault

And baby, I'm done pretending it's love, when it's not your all

Tell the next girl all the things that you told me

All you let slip, 'cause you were hurt and you were lonely

I've found that giving up ground ain't what I want

Both our names carved in my bedroom door

Nightmares of you and I we can't ignore

How was I sold on the idea of us in the first place?

For sale signs on whatever once was ours

Hate saying you're the reason I have these scars

But you left me thinking that I was out of line

To need space

But you know I'm done pretending I'm wrong when it's not my fault

And baby, I'm done pretending it's love, when it's not your all

Tell the next girl all the things that you told me

All you let slip, 'cause you were hurt and you were lonely

I've found that giving up ground ain't what I want

Tell the next girl all the things that you told me

All you let slip, 'cause you were hurt and you were lonely

I've found that giving up ground ain't what I want

Giving up ground ain't what I want, ain't what I want

In the first place

Giving up ground ain't what I want, ain't what I want

Giving up ground
