[Verse 1]
We built a castle
Of crimson gold and colored threads
Left filled with whispers
Cigarettes and empty beds
Your name is on my tongue
Told you I’d never stop
And you can call my bluff
But I won’t give up, give up, give up
No I won’t give up, give up, give up, give up
[Chorus]
What about, what about us
What about, what about us
What about, what a- what about us
What about, what about us
[Verse 2]
I got an issue
With the way you’re holding me
Is that an issue
I don’t like your company
We feel alone when we’re not alone
Let it out now you’re going home
Tears in your eyes like you’ve had enough
But I won’t give up, give up, give up
[Chorus]
What about, what about us
What about, what about us
What about, what a- what about us
What about, what about us
[Bridge]
Red wine on my lips
Cheeks caress your fingertips
Don’t it feel like you could kiss me now?
It always goes like this
I come crawling back into your arms
How could I resist you now?
[Chorus]
What about, what about us
What about, what about us (give up, give - give up)
What about, what a- what about us (give up, give - give up)
What about, what about us (give up, give - give up)
[Outro]
If you love me won’t you say something?
Or give up, yeah
If you love me won’t you say something?
Or give up, yeah
If you love me won’t you say something?
Or give up, yeah
If you love me won’t you say something?
Or give up, yeah
give up was written by Lixa & Dino Zisis & OSTON.
give up was produced by OSTON & Lixa & Dino Zisis & Christian Mulvany.
OSTON told Gems & Secrets:
This song is about toxic relationships. The type we have all experienced in which the outside world believes everything is rich and beautiful but as you peel back the layers, there is nothing positive underneath the surface.
