Caroline Polachek I Give Up Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When I stop caring, you stop caring
When I care less, then you care less than me
When I don't need and I don't believe in
The hollow phrases you still repeat

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Interlude]
Didn't used to feel this good to be all along
Doing every damn thing I can to not go home

[Chorus]
I give up
I give up on you know
I give up
How far can you fall
When you're already down?

[Verse 2]
I gave you that told-you-so, it's so crazy
And you gave me that list of things about myself to change
Now these days it's heaven night, babe
It's not a rough patch, it's not a phase

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Interlude]
Didn't used to feel this good to be all along
Doing every damn thing I can to not go home

[Chorus]
I give up
I give up on you know
I give up
How far can you fall
When you're already down?
I give up
I give up on you know
I give up
How far can you fall
When you're already down?
