In the band’s own words, “‘Given Up’ was written after a series of late nights and self-inflicted misdirection. The central message is to take your life by the reins and create your own future.”
[Verse 1]
It's your world and you create it
Just remove the parts you hated
Pick the places that you run from
It's too early to abandon
[Pre Chorus]
You're not living you're just existing
Sweet temptation, no use resisting
[Verse 2]
If you tune in it will pay off
Keep it quiet so it's red hot
[Pre Chorus]
You're not living, you're just existing
Sweet temptation, no use resisting
[Chorus]
Given up
And you don't know why you're falling 'round 'til six in the morning
Given up
And you don't know why you're falling down 'til six in the morning
[Verse 3]
It creates a little friction
But just say it with conviction
[Pre Chorus]
You're not living, you're just existing
Sweet temptation, no use resisting
[Chorus]
Given up
And you don't know why you're falling 'round 'til six in the morning
Given up
And you don't know why you're falling down 'til six in the morning
Given up
And you don't know why you're falling 'round 'til six in the morning
Given up
And you don't know why you're falling down
[Bridge]
It's your world and you create it
Just remove the parts you hated
[Pre Chorus]
You're not living, you're just existing
Sweet temptation, no use resisting
[Chorus]
Given up
And you don't know why you're falling 'round 'til six in the morning
Given up
And you don't know why you're falling down 'til six in the morning
Given up
And you don't know why you're falling 'round 'til six in the morning
Given up
And you don't know why you're falling down
