Give It All Up
I’d take the blame if it’s with the fame,
but not the pain if it brings me shame.
I’ll give it all up if I could,
or try as much as I should.
But I can’t seem to do,
and it make me feel like a fool.
Even though it feels cool,
messing with the rules,
if you’re handy with the tools.
Though I’d skip it if I could,
but I keep it as a shield,
and try as much as I should,
to give it up for good.
