I Surrender

It’s close to ninety and it ain’t even noon
But you’d never know from the chill inside this room
I see the storm clouds building in your eyes
I know you’re angry, I just don’t know why
It won’t be long before the shouting starts
I can’t fight you any more, I don’t have the heart

I surrender
Baby I give up
I surrender
I’ve had enough
I can’t live my life in a constant state of war
And I sure as hell can’t make you happy any more
So I surrender
Baby I surrender

There was a time when you were my whole world
And you were proud to call yourself my girl
We were so in love with each other way back then
But we got lost and never found our way again
Now there’s nothing left but anger and abuse
The best we can manage is this cold, fragile truce

So I surrender
Baby I give up
I surrender
I’ve had enough
I can’t live my life in a constant state of war
And I sure as hell can’t make you happy any more
So I surrender
Baby I surrender

You can go ahead and claim the victory
‘Cause if there’s a winner, I know it ain’t me

I surrender
Baby I give up
I surrender
I’ve had enough
I can’t live my life in a constant state of war
And I sure as hell can’t make you happy any more
So I surrender
Baby I surrender
