[Intro]
I can't give up, can't give it up
I can't give it up

[Verse 1]
Wind blows through the alley here on the darkest nights of June
I thought I saw a glimpse of your reflection, but that vision wasn’t you
I give a little, to take a minute
And I’m trying to catch your name
Not leaving it out, not giving it up
As you try to forget my face

[Chorus]
Tell me what you want to believe
‘Cause I couldn’t see
That what I was keeping was only a game
So why’d you want to be free
‘Cause I can’t conceive
That darling you don’t ever mean what you say

[Verse 2]
You took me out to nightclubs, and I wore your weight on my back
“Why do you want me? I just look like nothing, and I only dress in black...”
To make things better, to have a second
Of your precious time to spare
Arranging your life, not all out of spite
As you throw away my tears
[Chorus]
Tell me what you want to believe
‘Cause I couldn’t see
That what I was keeping was only a game
So why’d you want to be free
‘Cause I can’t conceive
That darling you don’t ever mean what you say

[Post-Chorus]
Baby looks like Mona Lisa
I'd be lying if I don't wanna try
When emotion is reasoned
Sparks a renaissance of being alive

[Bridge]
For you I feel exposed
I don’t have time to cope
What a weekend of fool’s gold
I know you’re alone

[Chorus]
Tell me what you want to believe
‘Cause I couldn’t see
That what I was keeping was only a game
So why’d you want to be free
‘Cause I can’t conceive
That darling you don’t ever mean what you say
[Post-Chorus]
Baby looks like Mona Lisa
I'd be lying if I don't wanna try
When emotion is reasoned
Sparks a renaissance of being alive
