We've been over and over
This thing we call love
And I've been thinking about what my friends would say
If I were to give it up

[Chorus]
Cause I've been tired and hopeful (I've been hurting inside)
For far too long now (too long now)
So I'm giving it up, giving up, giving up on love
Giving up on love

Hold back, you've got me all wrong
And now it's like it's over before it's even begun
You need to sit back and take it as a test
If you'd given me straight answers, I would never have had to guess

[Chorus]

And it was obvious from the start
We were the only ones with hearts
And you pull mine apart
With the things that you do
The house was falling from the cliffs
It is only glass and brick
If you throw enough it sticks
I learned that before
It's a battle not a war

Cause we've been over and over
This thing we call love
And I've been thinking about what my friends would say
If I were to give it up

[Chorus]

Giving up on love (giving up, giving up)
Giving up on love (giving up, giving up)
[repeating]
