lyrics

Ask me your questions
I'll respond politely
That doesn't mean I’ll be correct
Tell me your problems
I’ll answer back lovingly
But that doesn’t mean I connect

If I am the ocean
You’re the sky that colors me
And I can hide within your blue
But if you think I’m sorry
Pathetic, unworthy
Well I’m just the reflection of you

And I’ve tried my best to do you right
But you never can take the favor
You’ve seen me bleed, and let me be
So maybe doing nothing is better

But still I don’t wanna give up no
I don’t wanna give up on you
I know that I’d feel better
My face is always wetter
With your twisted truths
I’ll be weighed down
Held to the ground by you
But still I don’t wanna give up no
I don't wanna give up on you

Give me your opinions
And I’ll take them as they come
But realize that your interpretation of skies
Isn't the only one
Storm clouds of gray when you don’t get your way
Shades of blue if you do
Makes me wonder why
You don’t ditch the disguise
And stop seeing me through a mirror of you

And I've tried my best to do you right
But something tells me to try to stay
And you’ve seen my bleed, and let me be
But I just can’t seem to go away

'Cause I don’t wanna give up no
I don’t wanna give up on you
I know that I’d feel better
My face is always wetter
With your twisted truth
I’ll be weighed down
Held to the ground by you
But still I don’t wanna give up no
I don't wanna give up on you

There's something that hangs around
That I’m afraid to face
Oh, and it dangles out of reach
So far away
I keep pleading
Needing
For you to notice I’m not worthless
And this would hurt less if I could let you go

But still I don’t wanna give up no
I don’t wanna give up on you
I know that I’d feel better
My face is always wetter
With your twisted truth
I’ll be weighed down
Held to the ground by you
But still I don’t wanna give up no
I don’t wanna give up no
I don’t wanna give up no
I don’t wanna give up
I don't wanna give up no
I don't wanna give up on
