When You Give Up

[Verse 1]
You can be a singer that everyone loves
Or maybe a man that the people trust
Follow your dreams until you're on your knees
Then tell me what you gonna be when you give up?
You can be a fighter who's oh so tough
Or maybe a model who struts their stuff
Follow your heart until you fall apart
Then tell me what you gonna be when you give up?
When you give up

[Chorus]
What you gonna keep when you had enough?
What you gonna be when you give up?
When you give up
What you gonna be when you give up?
When you give up

[Verse 2]
You can be a priest or an archbishop
Or maybe a gambler who calls them bluffs
Give up your soul
Blow all the dice and roll
And tell me what you gonna be when you give up?
You can be a soldier who shoots his gun
Or maybe a poet of peace and love
Promise your life until you can't sleep at night
Then tell me what you gonna be when you give up?
When you give up

[Chorus]
What you gonna keep when you had enough?
What you gonna be when you give up?
When you give up
What you gonna be when you give up?
When you give up

[Verse 3]
You can be the mother of a beautiful son
Or maybe a father who never wanted one
Whatever you do there's always something to lose
So tell me what you gonna be when you give up?
When you give up

[Chorus]
What you gonna keep when you had enough?
What you gonna be when you give up?
When you give up
What you gonna leave when it's over and done?
What you gonna be when you give up?
When you give up
What you gonna be when you give up?
When you give up
What you gonna be when you give up?
When you give up
What you gonna be when you give up?
When you give up
