I Surrender Lyrics by Benjamin Lerner

2020

[Intro Hook: Benjamin Lerner]
I don’t fuckin’ need you anymore
I don’t wanna see you anymore
Ain’t no use in talking anymore
I’m out of here I’m walking out the door

[Verse 1: Mary Ellin Lerner]
When my son came home last night
It was clear that things were different
He acted like he wasn’t quite himself
He looked at me with soulless eyes
And told me he had made his mind up
He was leaving - and he didn’t want my help
I cried as he walked out the door
Then he drove off in the darkness
To spend the night alone at some hotel
So he can try to run away
From all the voices in his head
In search of heaven that will lead him straight to hell

[Chorus: Mary Ellin]

But I surrender
I surrender to the fact that I can’t save someone
Who has to save himself
I surrender - and hope that he will never have to know
The meaning of surrendering, as well

[Verse 2: Mary Ellin]

I said a prayer to god last night
I said “God, I can’t protect him –
I pray that you protect him for me now.”
‘Cause I know somewhere he’s alone
And he’s hungry cold and tired
And wishing he could put that needle down
And I know I can’t change his mind
So grant me sweet surrender
So I can have a change of heart and see
There’s nothing I can do right now
He holds his fate in his hands
I can’t help him
It’s not up to me

[Hook: Benjamin]

I don’t fuckin’ need you anymore
I don’t wanna see you anymore

[Chorus: Mary Ellin]
But I surrender
I surrender to the fact that I can’t save someone
Who has to save himself

[Hook: Benjamin]
Ain’t no use in talkin’ anymore
I’m out of here I’m walkin’ out the door

[Chorus: Mary Ellin]
And hope that he will never know
What it’s like to lose a child…himself
