Gave It Up
Lyrics
There's a bottle on the counter
In a trailer past the county line in Mississippi (in Mississippi)
And it's calling my name like I'm calling out yours
There's a bible on the shelf
That's saying hell is where I'm headed
After all this whiskey (after all this whiskey)
But hell, it's the only thing that works
No, I don't give a damn
I've been drinkin' and drivin' (drinkin' and drivin')
Smoking in bed 'til it feels like I'm flying (feels like I'm flying)
I'm burning it down, I don't care if it kills me
As long as it kills that memory of us
Well, I gave it all
All the air in my lungs
All the blood in my veins
But it wasn't enough
So don't you dare come back 'round here
Saying we ain't done 'cause I gave you everything
You gave it up (yeah, you gave it up)
And you gave it up (I gave you everything)
There's a 40 on the nightstand
And a quarter in my right hand
What's it gonna be? (What's it gonna be?)
Heads I stay or tails I leave (tails I leave)
Damn, I'm tired of being tired all the time
My life's on fire
Let it burn, let it burn
No, I don't give a damn
I'm drinkin' and drivin' (drinkin' and drivin')
I smoke in my bed 'til it feels like I'm flying (feels like I'm flying)
I'm burning it down, I don't care if it kills me
As long as it kills that memory of us
I gave it all
All the air in my lungs
All the blood in my veins
But it wasn't enough
So don't you dare come back 'round here
Saying we ain't done 'cause I gave you everything
And you gave it up
You gave it up
I might just overdose on this old backroad
Cover up my tire tracks so nobody knows
Yeah, this pain I feel
It's getting way too real
I'm tryin' to find an answer
I've been looking for in a pill
I don't give a damn
I'm drinkin' and drivin' (drinkin' and drivin')
I smoke in my bed 'til it feels like I'm flying (feels like I'm flying)
I'm burning it down, I don't care if it kills me
As long as it kills that memory of us
I gave it all
All the air in my lungs
All the blood in my veins
But it wasn't enough (it wasn't enough)
So don't you dare come back 'round here
Saying we ain't done 'cause I gave you everything
You gave it up (yeah, you gave it up)
You gave it up (I gave you everything)
(You gave it up)
