given up on luv

Glisten like the moonlight in my eyes
Listen to the words of my mouth now
I crumble, I stumble upon my speech
I assume, I resume on like you’re out of my reach 

I listened to your lies…
I am not through your goodbyes…
I’ve given up on love…
You’re still looking above

Where do I rove?
Where do I rove?
Where do I, dove?
Where do I, dove?
When you’re not my love?
When you’re not my love?
I’ve given up on love
Can’t think of…
Another way out
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt
I lost my route

Mend me for a little while now
Somehow, I’ve been lost without a sound
I’m like a bumble bee, taking its bow
Into the honey, into the honey before I hit the ground

I listened to your lies…
I am not through your goodbyes…
I’ve given up on love…
You’re still looking above

Where do I rove?
Where do I rove?
Where do I, dove?
Where do I, dove?
When you’re not my love?
When you’re not my love?
I’ve given up on love
Can’t think of…
Another way out
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt
I lost my route

I’m sick of your goodbyes…
I’m sick of your callous lies…
I’m going to be on my own…
Count me gone, all alone…

I’m sick of your goodbyes…
I’m sick of your callous lies…
I’m going to be on my own…
Count me gone, all alone…

I listened to your lies…
I am not through your goodbyes…
I’ve given up on love…
You’re still looking above

Where do I rove?
Where do I rove?
Where do I, dove?
Where do I, dove?
When you’re not my love?
When you’re not my love?
I’ve given on love
Can’t think of…
Another way out
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt
I lost my route

I listened to your lies…
I am not through your goodbyes…
I’ve given on love…
You’re still looking above

Where do I rove?
Where do I rove?
Where do I, dove?
Where do I, dove?
When you’re not my love?
When you’re not my love?
I’ve given on love
Can’t think of…
Another way out
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt
I lost my route

I’m sorry I lost you…
Into the bee hive, I go
I’m sorry I’m through
With being your love though…

I listened to your lies…
I am not through your goodbyes…
You’ve given up on love…
But, apparently, I haven’t, my dove…

I’ve given you love
When you gave up on it long ago
