Giving Up

Ingrid Michaelson

What if we stop having a ball?
What if the paint chips from the wall?
What if there's always cups in the sink?
What if I'm not what you think
I am...?

What if I fall further than you?
What if you dream of somebody new?
What if I never let you win,
Chase you with a rolling pin?
Well, what if I do?

'Cause I am giving up
On making passes
And I am giving up
On half-empty glasses
And I am giving up
On greener grasses
I am giving up

What if our baby comes in after nine?
What if your eyes close before mine?
What if you lose yourself sometimes?
And I'll be the one to find you
Safe in my heart

'Cause I am giving up
On making passes
And I am giving up
On half empty glasses
And I am giving up
On greener grasses
I am giving

'Cause I am giving up
I am giving up
And I am giving up
I am giving up
And I am giving up
On greener grasses
I am giving up for you
Oh oh
I am giving up for you
Oh oh
I am giving up
