[Slow, melancholy opening]
[Verse one]
She gave up on love at 18 years old
Said it was just a lie that the foolish told
Finding herself all alone and cold
She gave up on the world
[Short music break]
[Verse two]
She lit up a smoke every day or two
Still eventually, she lost count of how many packs she’d gone through
She thought that she had nothing left to lose
She gave up on the world
[chorus]
She hasn’t been home now in several days
Tonight makes the third week straight
And he’s been struggling to sleep since she ran away
He hopes she finds the strength that she’s been searching for
(cause he just can’t take the searching anymore)
[Verse three]
She found some relief with a bottle in her hand
But the bottle can be such a fickle friend
She swore a million times she’d never drink again
She gave up on the world
[chorus]
She hasn’t been home now in several days
Tonight makes the third week straight
And he’s been struggling to sleep since she ran away
He hopes she finds the strength that she’s been searching for
(cause he just can’t take the searching anymore)
[music break]
She gave up on the world today
