lyrics

I'm Giving Up

I'm giving up, that's what I said / Can't see no reason to ever again set foot outside of this bed. /
I'm giving up drinking, I'm giving up on all of my friends / Giving up thinking about you, I'm just gonna lie here and wait for the end to come / However that may be, guess I'll just have to wait and see. / I'm gonna give up breathing, if only I can / So that you won't have to be there to tell me that I'm just not that much of a man anymore / I know that score, better than you / Better than you with your 'something to do' and your 'life goes on' / And your pragmatism and your 'best foot forward,' I hope you never hear this song / But if you do // I hope that I'm already gone. // I'm giving up seeing and hearing and feeling and all of that shit / 'Cause if there's one thing I've learned it's that nothing good ever came from it / And I'm giving up talking to everyone about all of my problems / Guess I've finally realised that, hell, maybe I just do not want to solve them / I'm gonna give up calling you in the middle of the night, you're right / You deserve every chance you can get to go on with the rest of your life / A life without me // I guess that's the life you need / Is that the life you need? // Well, I gave up smoking a little while ago / And I'm only telling you this 'cause I want you to know / That I'm able to do whatever it is that I put my mind to / What d'you think, you're the only one who can go out and find somebody new? / The fact that I'm still so alone just means I don't want to // All that I want is you / You're all that I ever want.

Whilst gently paddling along this glistening river with the sun warming my back I found contentment. At a peaceful spot I set up camp and breathed in the beauty........."I think I'll stay a while" I said to myself. Thank you for this peaceful spot Mr Henderson :0) Martin Shields
