[Verse 1]
Lying hopeless on the ground
When the cold wind dries, I feel like coming down
Days pass by during nights
When the secret dies, I feel like coming down

[Chorus]
I gave up
Still stayed up
When I settled down
I gave up
Still stayed up
When I settled down
I felt like burning

[Verse 2]
Walking backwards into town
When the burden flies, I feel like coming down
Been through this for a while
When my darling cries, I feel like coming down

[Chorus]
I gave up
Still stayed up
When I settled down
I gave up
Still stayed up
When I settled down
I felt like burning

[Bridge]
I sent letters from the grave
And watched your name in my will
From that moment I was brave
But fell to fast, was almost killed
Same old story once again
When will it end
