The Simple Act of Giving Up

Here I go again

Put me on the first train heading eastbound

And if by June I'm still alive

I promise not to tell my dad I'm miserable

But thanks for all his sacrifice

Cause I'm ashamed of the things that I did

I said whatever it took just to get her in bed

It's kind of fun when you're only a kid

But you grow up to learn that the scars you cut are

permanent

But I haven't had one drink in three whole years

There's no need for drinking when you're not here

Do you find it amusing that I'm seeing clear

In this haze of hateful atmosphere

So come on

We're not fooling anybody tonight

We're the king and queen of social-suicide

And things aren't better now

Knowing that we've never found anyone else

So take me out

Cause I'm a mess when I'm alone

And if anyone can help

I think I'm losing it

I grab and hold on tightly but I start to slip

I've got a problem with my self-control

I fall in love when I'm with any girl

But they got it wrong saying 'love is blind' It's fine

It's just disguised as sex tonight

And it's too hard to deny

Now she's got that dress on

You know the one that shows off

The things that she could do to me

And I'm taking lessons

On how not to beg for sex

When it's just a side effect we're feeling from the

ecstasy

So come on we're not getting any younger tonight

You're the gracious host and I'm the parasite

It's the simple act of growing old

Mix it with chemicals and we're the end result

Slow down cause I can tell when you're aroused

Like now

So take me out

Cause I'm a mess when I'm alone

And if anyone can help

I think I'm losing it

I grab and hold on tightly but I start to slip

I've got a problem with my self-control

I fall in love when I'm with any girl

But they got it wrong saying 'love is blind' It's fine

It's just disguised as sex tonight

And as long as I'm alive

I'll try to mend this broken future that we call life

And I'm doing better all the time

Just pretend you care for me tonight

I think it's safe to say that I'll be fine this time.

So take me out

Cause I'm a mess when I'm alone

And if anyone can help

I'm losing it

so this one goes out

To all you love struck fools

I've got news for you

I know a thing or two on giving up

To all you heartless souls

I think it's best you know

I play the leading role on giving up...
