Giving it up for you is the first song on the album “Like Blood Like Honey,” which she released under the name Holly Brook, before changing her stage name to Skylar Grey.
[Verse 1]
Though I'm young and cynical
It's not my only crime
I've been stealing all your cigarettes
To save another dime
But in case you haven't noticed I just gave them all away, yeah
[Chorus]
Tell me what do you think of me now
That I've traded all my armor for a crown
Come on what do you do with me now
That I've taken down the mirror on the wall
And the sweet rain is ready to fall
I'm giving it up for you (oh)
Giving it up for you (yeah)
[Verse 2]
Well I take a lot of medicine
I don't really need
I was drinking at eleven
Getting high at seventeen
So now I don't appreciate the taste of expensive wine, no
[Chorus]
Tell me what do you think of me now
That I've traded all my armor for a crown
Come on what do you do with me now
That I've taken down the mirror on the wall
And the sweet rain is ready to fall
I'm giving it up for you
[Bridge]
Take your aim like Artemis
And kill another dove
But when your heart becomes a hunter
You may wound your chance to love
[Chorus]
Tell me what do you think of me now
That I've traded all my armor for a crown
Come on what do you do with me now
That I've taken down the mirror on the wall
And the sweet rain is ready to fall
I'm giving it up for you
I'm giving it up for you (yeah)
I'm giving it up for you
I'm giving it up for you
(ah-ha-oh-ha-ha-yeah)
[Outro]
I'm giving it up
