Give Up on Me

Words and Music by Dawn Xiana Moon

It's a sunny afternoon but my house is cold today
I can see the clouds,
They're dancing on the roof but I can't dance that way

Spent 21 years struggling with the same things
Each step forward sends me running back
Resolutions made and broken, promises are spoken
Why am I so afraid to fail?

Perfection plays the rally cry
Will you lift me up or am I condemned to die
But you said you'd never give up on me
Even if I do myself

You said you'd never give up on me
Even if I do myself

Walking through the crowds I paint this portrait of invincibility
Though I hate the shades;
The colors scream too loud, I'll hide the insecurity

Spent 21 years struggling with the same things
Each step forward sends me running back
Resolutions made and broken, promises are spoken
Why am I so afraid to fail?

Perfection plays the rally cry
Will you lift me up or am I condemned to die
But you said you'd never give up on me
Even if I do myself

You said you'd never give up on me
Even if I do myself
