Gave up on you

You sought fortune

I sought clarity

You sought fame

I sought privacy

You skimmed for answers

I yearned for knowledge

We were doomed from the start

No common ground

But addicted to each other

And the ups and downs

So we stuck around

You were brave and confident

I was shy and cowardly

Intense emotions from me and you

You were unreasonable, I was fair

You thought of you and I did too

We were doomed from the start

No common ground

But addicted to each other

And the ups and downs

So we stuck around

You never gave up

But I gave up on you
