Well, it started as a game 
 Using pleasure, using paint 
 We got higher and higher that way 
 But it didn't work today 
 Even though it felt so right 
 Nothing's permanent in life 
 So it's useless to hold on so tight 
    You gotta give it up, give it up, give it up, ohh 
 Give it up, give it up, ohh 
 Give it up, give it up 
 You lost control cause nothing stays around too long   
 So now everything has changed 
 And your heart spread, rearranged 
 Until nothing we've known here remains 
 And you say you shouldn't stay 
 As you're taking off your clothes 
 You think it's loving, I suppose 
 It's just you endlessly needing control   
 Nothing stays around too long 
 Nothing stays around too long 
 You lost control 
 You gotta give it up.
