Oh, father, release me
My bones feel like stone
And I know when the game
Is up, is up
It's obvious (it's obvious)
The universe (the universe)
Is tryin' to tell me to let go (is tryin' to tell me to let go)
I'm sorry, but (I'm sorry, but)
I've given up (I've given up)
I've given up (I've given up)
Given up (I've given up)
And I feel some relief now I know
And I love you, but I really have to go
My fate (my fate)
My fate don't mean a thing
My fate (my fate)
My fate don't mean a thing
Oh, mother, believe me
I know what this means
And it's easy
I see no other way
It's obvious (it's obvious)
The universe (the universe)
Is tryin' to tell me to let go (is tryin' to tell me to let go)
I'm sorry, but (I'm sorry, but)
I've given up (I've given up)
I've given up (I've given up)
Given up (I've given up)
And I feel some relief now I know (and I feel some relief now I know)
And I love you, but I really have to go (and I love it, but I really have to go)
My fate (my fate)
My fate don't mean a thing
My fate (my fate)
My fate don't mean a thing
