lyrics

I keep running up against the wall
Like this time it will change
Like this time it won't be there at all
And it leaves red grit and blue bruises
But it never gives
Then I begin to give up
And I begin
To let you go

I hate the way hope makes me lift up my head
When I know it will betray me
It will slay me and leave me for dead
It leaves grey doubts and yellow scars
But it never gives
Till I begin to give up
And I begin
To let you go

The wind tells me to smile, this is for the best
Don't fret for what you can't have
Put aside your unrest
And it leaves pink cheeks and pale skin
And it begins to give me
The strength I need to give in
And begin
To let you go
