lyrics

In a former life, I bet I knew you, almost like we've been here before
Jesus Christ, I never felt electrified, just kinda lukewarm
I got by, mouthing the words to silent night and bracing the storm
but I left that life cause there's no place for halfway faith, no "half reborn"
why can't I be on the fence? it's comfortable, no one's offended
I feel great with no decisions. I'm through choosing, I'm done quitting
maybe I'm no hall-of-famer I'm no Gretzky on the Rangers
I'm not good at all of this, but who is?

I guess I'm
giving up on giving up
I'm forcing myself to face my optimistic side
giving up on giving up
it's the one thing I hold on to, the only place I thrive
giving up

in another place, I could've been somebody great
I could've had my head on straight, instead of this mess I keep inside
stop my crying, I'm not saying I've been lying
I just let myself lose faith, but I'm through seeing it that way

I guess I'm
giving up on giving up
I'm kicking the habit of just letting sadness slide
I'm giving up on giving up
it's the one thing I have left,
the one I haven't yet let die
giving up
