Lyrics
Verse:
It's close to ninety and it ain't even noon
But you'd never know from the chill inside this room
I see the storm clouds building in your eyes
I know you're angry, I just don't know why
It won't be long now before the shouting starts
But I ain't gonna fight you, I don't have the heart
Chorus:
I surrender
Baby I give up
I surrender
I've finally had enough
I can't live my life in a constant state of war
And I sure as hell can't make you happy any more
So I surrender
Baby I surrender
Verse:
There was a time when you were my whole world
And you were proud to call yourself my girl
We were so in love with each other way back then
But somehow we got lost and never found our way again
Now there's nothing left but anger and abuse
The best we seem to manage is a cold, awkward truce
Chorus:
So I surrender
Baby I give up
I surrender
I've finally had enough
I can't live my life in a constant state of war
And I sure as hell can't make you happy any more
So I surrender
Baby I surrender
Bridge:
You can go ahead and claim the victory
'Cause if there's a winner, it sure as hell ain't me
Chorus:
I surrender
Baby I give up
I surrender
I've finally had enough
I can't live my life in a constant state of war
And I sure as hell can't make you happy any more
So I surrender
Baby I surrender
