Give Up! Lyrics

When they're younger many parents tell their kids that they can be

The president, or an astronaut, or an actor on TV

But no one ever tells a child what they cannot be

So it seems that the responsibility has come to me

Life is just a compromise it's better for your health

You might achieve a smaller dream so look inside yourself

Why do you want the big career and all that fancy stuff?

Give up give up give up give up give up

The moment you stop working out the fat will start to creep

You can never smoke a cigarette and still die in your sleep

So you don't have to make the bed you're getting back into

Cause life tends towards chaos and there's nothing you can do

And love is just a compromise so you don't have to frown

And romcoms are a bunch of lies so bring your standards down

Sure he's a comedian but being single sucks

Give up give up give up give up give up

Think of what's awaiting you a couple years down the line

A bunch of emptiness at the success you didn't find

Think of how much happier you would be at that time

If you never ever failed because you didn't even try

And life is just a compromise but we don't want to see

We write ourselves the movie script of how our lives should be

You're reaching out for happiness when what's inside's enough

Give up give up give up give up give up
