Eleventyseven – Give It Up lyrics

Every single human heart is in need
Of a love they were born to believe
And every single human hand was made
To fit another hand perfectly
And everybody's got a wrong tonight
One that only they can make right
'Cause if we really want to win
We gotta start by surrendering

Sometimes we dance and we don't know why
Sometimes we're just staring into flashing lights
Totally blind to the end of the world
Totally fine to ride it while it burns

Sometimes we cry for no reason at all
Sometimes we build it up just to watch it fall
Maybe we're made so that we self-destruct
Maybe we're given it all just to give it up
Oh, maybe we're giving it all, just to give it up

Just because your heart was hurt
Doesn't mean that it's the end of the world
And just because your flame came to an end
Doesn't mean you can't ignite it again

All anybody really wants to find
Is a reason for being alive
We're victims of our own desire
It holds us tight like a chain
And consumes like a fire

Sometimes we dance and we don't know why
Sometimes we're just staring into flashing lights
Totally blind to the end of the world
Totally fine to ride it while it burns

Sometimes we cry for no reason at all
Sometimes we build it up just to watch it fall
Maybe we're made so that we self-destruct
Maybe we're given it all just to give it up
Oh, maybe we're given it all, just to give it up

Are you trying to find a doorway in the dark?
Would you give anything to be playing a different part?
Don't be afraid of what you'll find
Open the door, see what's behind it
If you're looking hard for truth
You'll find it
I know you'll find it

Sometimes we dance and we don't know why
Sometimes we're just staring into flashing lights
Totally blind to the end of the world
Totally fine to ride it while it burns

Sometimes we cry for no reason at all
Sometimes we build it up just to watch it fall
Maybe we're made so that we self-destruct
Maybe we're given it all just to give it up
Oh, maybe we're given it all, just to give it up
