Should I Give Up Lyrics by Orry Maine

Squirrel

2023

[Verse 1]
Look, I'll admit I ain't perfect
I'll admit to bein' stupid
Doing things that ain't worth it
I can see that I get petty
I'll accept part of the blame
Goes to me for my mistakes
Yes, I know there's plenty
I know I don't make it easy
I'm possessive over tiny
Microscopic little things
I'm aggressive when I sing
I get jealous of my dreams
And I hate it when I never
Hear my telephone ring, I'm a mess
I just don't know what this means I guess
'Cuz even when I'm yellin' at you
I still tell you I love you
And when I try to fall asleep
I still lie awake askin'
All the same ol' things
[Hook 1]
Should I give up on
Should I move on from
All the things you said we'd be
Should I give up on
Let go of all I was
Holding on for you and me
[Verse 2]
Now lemme get this straight
When you got people that just use and abuse
I come runnin' to your side to fight the boos and the hoos
But when I'm goin' through Hell 'cuz I ain't got nobody else
I'm supposed to suck it up when you don't even try to help
What the hell?
Hey none of this is meant to hurt you
Yes I know that you get busy
I'm just circling my feelings
I'm allowed to get upset
There's some things I might regret
But there's a couple years of stuff
I need to get off my chest
[Verse 3]
I thought that you would like it
That I made you a priority
I thought it gave you comfort
And it maybe made you happy
I wish that I could stop
I wish that I could do what you want
Let go and move on, but I can't
'Cuz you were the reason I finally felt happy
'Till you chose to be the person to all but destroy me
Tried to choose love even after the madness
But like you I got a limit and yeah you reached it
Say you want me back to my old way
But you don't remember who I was
When you met me on the first day
Broken and alone tired of the heartbreak
Then you made me really think
That I was finally gonna be safe
[Hook 2]
Should I give up on
Should I move on from
All the things you said we'd be
Should I give up on
Let go of all I was
Holding on for you and me
[Verse 4]
But I'mma say forget the people
Who just say I'm obsessed
My first verse I conceded
I'm the reason you're stressed
Now let me add to that
I fell for more than how we first met
All my dreams and fantasies
I guess they got to my head
And I believed no matter what
We wouldn't let it be ruined
What we had and what we have
Is only just the beginnin'
I'll accept the time it takes
And I'll leave it all to fate
But don't forget I think it's meant to be
I hope one day we'll get to see
[Hook 3]
Should I give up on
Should I move on from
All the things you said we'd be
Should I give up on
Let go of all I was
Holding on for you and me
[Bridge]
Oh I fantasize, romanticize
Embrace the thought of suicide
'Cuz though I cry about every night
I've become so desensitized
I'm so desensitized
[Reprise/Outro]
Oh by the way
To all the people who will listen to this
Who know the man behind the lyrics
And the subject of this
If all you do is take my message
My letter to my devotion
And twist all it's base intentions
To use it to get attention
See yourself out the door
I don't want you to stay and listen
