Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've always told me
That you know me
But you don't really know me at all
You just played me and betrayed me
And showed no sympathy at all
[Chorus]
Why can't you just please surrender
Surrender what you promised
Surrender what I need
Why can't you just see that sweet surrender in me
One time… Surrender to me
[Verse 2]
So will you stand tall, and be accountable
And tell that little girl you lied?
How you lost it
I'm so exhausted
And this is where I draw the line
For the last time
[Chorus]
Why can't you just please surrender
Surrender what you promised
Surrender what I need, oh baby
Why can't you just see that sweet surrender in me
One time… Surrender to me
[Bridge]
I'm done wasting time
So sick of your lies
And every time you seem to change your mind
Manipulate - So quick to hate
A true master of your art you demonstrate
But I need a break from you
I need to separate from you
I need to keep my faith and do
All the other things I promised to
Why you always make me wait on you
I really need a break from you
I need to keep my faith and do
All the other things I promised to
I really need a break
I really need a break
I really need a break
Break, break, break, break!
[Chorus]
Why can't you just please surrender
Surrender what you promised
Surrender what I need, oh baby
Why can't you just see that sweet surrender in me
One time… Surrender to me
Surrender to me
Surrender to me
