“I Give Up was my first ever collaboration with @dan_nigro and one of the earliest songs on Pang. Dan played me this rough instrumental loop he’d just made with @jimestack and I freaked out over the sulky chords and broken groove. I’d only just met Dan that day and was feeling s...
[Verse 1]
When I stop caring, you stop caring
When I care less and you care less than me
When I don't need and I don't believe in
The hollow phrases you still repeat
You and I, we fall apart
Now I know what it means to unravel
It's a new and shallow grief
A pathetic kind of sad relief
[Pre-Chorus]
It didn't used to feel this good to be all alone
Doing every damn thing I can to not go home
[Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]
It didn't used to feel this good to be all alone
Doing every damn thing I can to not go home
[Chorus]
I give up
I give up on you now
I give up
How far can you fall
When you're already down?
I give up
I give up on you now
I give up
How far can you fall
When you're already down?

That song was written about a breakup from 2012. I had written that [song] in a notebook and I found it and went, ‘Oh, these lyrics really cut.’ There was a piece of music that was being born around the same time I found those lyrics and it really fit. But that song is also about apathy, which is an...
