Poppy – The Cost Of Giving Up (Lyrics)

Written By: Jordan Fish, Poppy, Stephen Rey Harrison

Lyrics (Start at 0:12):

Today’s a shade of disbelief
Inflict the shame you sent to me
I can entrust a new meaning
I’m not ready
So is this what it feels like
Breaking from the inside, all the time
Tell me
What’s the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe
I’m the one I’m running from
It’s too much to carry
It’s all getting heavy
Lift me up

It burrows like a summer tick
Embeds itself, to make me sick
Of all the places it could be
It’s still in me
Guess this is what it feels like
Speaking from the dark side of my mind
Tell me
What’s the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe
Im the one I’m running from
It’s too much to carry
It’s all getting heavy
Lift me up
Lift me up
Can’t push me any further down in the trench
Back against the wall
So you wanna test me now?
While the other beg and fail to repent
They were fit to suffer
And i will dig back out
Tell me
What’s the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe
I’m the one I’m running from
It’s too much to carry
It’s all getting heavy
Tell me
What’s the cost of giving up?
Why does it feel like help will never come?
Maybe
I’m the one I’m running from
It’s too much to carry
It’s all getting heavy
Lift me up
Tell me
What’s the cost of giving up?
Giving up
Giving up
