Give Up Easy

The day breaks open in a thousand little pieces
I put together puzzles I started while I was sleeping
Monday morning coming down with a hard steady rain
It's 10 AM and I'm drunk on yesterday

Killing time to spread out my jealous mind
I'm reaching for the stars but I'm standing on my tiptoes blind
I haven't talked to you since you took that big hard pill
I'll be damned if I let this silence kill

You build me up like a castle's sturdy walls
Then you take me for a ride on battered dreams
You tell me its what happens to us all
But I don't think I could give up easily
I don't think I could give up easy

I wander through these streets with nothing but a cup of change
I gave my last whole dollar to the man with nothing to say
Thinking I could get used to being hungry everyday
Besides I've eaten too much anyway

You build me up like a castle's sturdy walls
Then you take me for a ride on battered dreams
You tell me its what happens to us all
But I don't think I could give up easily
I don't think I could give up easy

In my heart I know I believe it's just so hard to really make you see
If you've got a problem fix it don't stand there drowning in it
Be grateful you have got another minute

You say your prayers will help you push the past
And nothing good is priced at being free
You might be right about what really lasts
But I don't think I will give up easily
No, I don't think I could give up easily
I don't think I could give up easy
