lyrics
Can't you see that I'm walking this thing to the end of the line
You tell me you want to join me but baby this journey is mine all mine
You keep on trying to understand me but I don't want to be understood
And though you keep on saying I'm not so bad what I'm doing to you is no good
Why don't you give up on me
Won't you give up on me
I'm building a tragedy
I don't know why it should be
But it's needful for me
So please
Baby give up on me
I'm descending the dark dark ladder taking it one rung at a time
Yes I can hear you calling me back up but I'm too tired to climb
It's just too hard and too late to tell what I want from what I don't
Oh you should listen to me when I say you should leave for your own sanity but you won't
Why don't you give up on me
Won't you give up on me
I'm building a tragedy
I don't want to take you with me
So just set yourself free
Oh please
Baby give up on me
Sometimes I wonder how it's going to feel after all the hope has been killed
After every drop of love has been lost to a well that cannot be filled
You tell me you want to join me but baby this journey is mine all mine
You keep on trying to understand me but I don't want to be understood
And though you keep on saying I'm not so bad what I'm doing to you is no good
Why don't you give up on me
Won't you give up on me
I'm building a tragedy
I don't know why it should be
But it's needful for me
So please
Baby give up on me
I'm descending the dark dark ladder taking it one rung at a time
Yes I can hear you calling me back up but I'm too tired to climb
It's just too hard and too late to tell what I want from what I don't
Oh you should listen to me when I say you should leave for your own sanity but you won't
Why don't you give up on me
Won't you give up on me
I'm building a tragedy
I don't want to take you with me
So just set yourself free
Oh please
Baby give up on me
Sometimes I wonder how it's going to feel after all the hope has been killed
After every drop of love has been lost to a well that cannot be filled
