[Verse 1]
I stand out breaking in the Portland rain
I see the end there in your eyes
As I watch you drive away
I walk back blind into my cold dream house
And I think about the damage
As I put the big light out
I sit down smoking on my basement floor
I hear footsteps up above me
And they're right outside my front door

[Pre-Chorus]
The only place that I want to be
Is watching you move up on top of me
The only sound that I want to hear
Is the rain against my window as you whisper in my ear

[Verse 2]
Baby, you know I love it when you call me baby
I go upstairs and find my twelve-year-old
She's got tears runnin' down her face
Sitting sad at my piano
She sings soft words from that old Beatles song
And I think about my yesterday
And all the things I did wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
The only place that I want to be
Is watching you sweet dream in bed right next to me
The only sound that I want to hear
Is the rain against my window as I pull you near

[Chorus]
Don't give up on me
Baby, can't you you see?
We could make this be
The way it used to be, whoa
Don't give up on me
I wish I could make you see
That I am changing everyday
Trying to build a better me

[Post-Chorus]
We could make this be
The way it's supposed to be
Don't give up on me
Ooh, don't give up on me

[Break]
Na, na
Na, na, na
Na, na
Na, na, na
[Bridge]
I stand out in the rain
Where I watched you drive away
I never thought I would live to see this fucked-up day
I stand out in the rain
In the middle of the night
I wish that it could wash away the beast inside

[Chorus]
The only thing I want to do
Is kiss you when I'm coming deep inside of you
The only sound that I want to hear
Is the rain against my window as I hold you

[Chorus]
Don't give up on me
Oh baby, can't you see?
We could make this be
The way it used to be, whoa
Don't give up on me
I wish I could make you see
That I am changing everyday
Trying to build a better me
We could make this be
The way it's supposed to be
[Post-Chorus]
Don't give up on me (Oh, yeah)
Don't give up on me (Oh, oh)
Don't give up on me (Oh, whoa)
Don't give up on me, whoa
