I'm giving up the ghost of old lovers that rattle round my brain Giving up those black crows sitting on my weathervane Giving up my addictions, I won't hide behind that mask And when we fall let's fall together, girl that's all i ask Giving it up, whoa oh Giving it up, for love Giving it up, yeah yeah Giving it up, for love I'm giving up the dark blue places that are never gonna heal I'm folding up my cape, I am no man of steel I'm giving up the grapes of wrath and all these dust bowl fields I prayed for rain and now i know just how good it feels Giving it up, whoa oh Giving it up, for love Giving it up, yeah yeah Giving it up, for love Red letter words say two are better than one Lost like the moonlight in your hair waiting on the sun Tomorrow's horizon where the road will lead And yesterday's so bitter But tonight your kisses taste so sweet Neon sunsets that shine so cold A house of cards that always seems to fold All the lies I've bought and I have sold Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah Fear of flying, fear of dying, growing old Of never finding another hand to hold I rest my weary soul, I lay this burden down Finally surrender and wrap your arms around me Giving it up Take it cause I'm giving it up Giving it up for love
