Lyrics for I Give Up

When I stop caring, you stop caring When I care less, and you care less than me When I don't need and I don't believe in The hollow phrases you still repeat You and I, we fall apart Now I know what it means to unravel It's a new and shallow grief A pathetic kind of sad relief It didn't used to feel this good to be all alone Doing every damn thing I can to not go home I give up I give up on you now I give up How far can you fall When you're already down? I gave you that told-you-so look, it's so crazy And you gave me that list of things about myself to change And now these days it's every night, babe It's not a rough patch, it's not a phase You and I, we fall apart Now I know what it means to unravel It's a new and shallow grief And a pathetic kind of self-defeat It didn't used to feel this good to be all alone Doing every damn thing I can to not go home I give up I give up on you now I give up How far can you fall When you're already down? I give up I give up on you now I give up How far can you fall When you're already down?
