From the recording John Blvd.
Lyrics
John Blvd.
You try to hard to be a star, with every little thing you do
But all you ever see is not enough, when the truth is staring right at you
Give it up before it does you in
Your life is more than the sum of all your sins…. just give it up.
You swear the angels have forgotten you, and fate conspires to keep you down
Put on some gloves and fight your way back up, your shadow follows you around
Give it up before it does you in
Your life is more than the sum of all your sins…. just give it up.
I deserve it, why not me
I’m a loser of the first degree
A poorly fixed reality
You try too hard to be a star, but my brother the lights inside of you
Someone will love you just the way you are, there’s not a single thing you have to do
Give it up before it does you in, your life is more than the sum of all your sins
Give it up before there’s nothing left of you
Oh my brother, give it up, oh my brother, give it up
Just give it up
