Lyrics

[Verse 1]

No more barricades, slowly diffusing

I'll be leaving now, nobody's losing

If you could play a part, stay in resistance

Every fault would fade into the distance

[Verse 2]

Run if you like, all the mistakes that you left behind

Hold me down, you can't deny and I can't deny

Open your eyes, I look away and you come around

To build your words high enough to carry you over

[Verse 3]

And I never woulda given you up

Never woulda given you up, you up

If you only hadn't given me up

Only hadn't given me up, me up

Then I never woulda given you up

Never woulda given you up, you up

If you only hadn't given me up

Only hadn't given me up, me up

[Verse 4]

No more clarity, only confusion

Every focused thought, just an illusion

If I could see you now, if you would listen

Every fault would fade into the distance

[Verse 5]

Run if you like, all the mistakes that you left behind

Hold me down, you can't deny and I can't deny

Open your eyes, I look away and you come around

To build your words high enough to carry you over

[Verse 6]

And I never woulda given you up

Never woulda given you up, you up

If you only hadn't given me up

Only hadn't given me up, me up

Then I never woulda given you up

Never woulda given you up, you up

If you only hadn't given me up

Only hadn't given me up, me up

[Verse 7]

And you are

If I only hadn't given you up

If you only hadn't given me up

And you are

If I only hadn't given you up

Losin' my breath and leavin' the rest

[Verse 8]

Run if you like, all the mistakes that you left behind

Hold me down, you can't deny and I can't deny

Open your eyes, I look away and you come around

To build your words high enough to carry you over

[Verse 9]

I never woulda given you up

Never woulda given you up, you up

If you only hadn't given me up

Only hadn't given me up, me up

Then I never woulda given you up

Never woulda given you up, you up

If you only hadn't given me up

Only hadn't given me up, me up

[Verse 10]

Then I never woulda given you up

Never woulda given you up, you up

If you only hadn't given me up

Only hadn't given me up, me up

Then I never woulda given you up

Never woulda given you up, you up

If you only hadn't given me up

Only hadn't given me up
