Give It Up
I Fight Dragons Lyrics

You tell yourself that you just can't take this
You're at your wit's end, fed up and can't handle the situation anymore.

Enough with the madness
The chaos and insanity have gone on for too long, and it needs to stop.

This has gotta
It's imperative that things change and improve for the better.

Stop now
The situation needs to be put to an end immediately.

Some how
It's unclear how to accomplish this, but it must be done one way or another.

And every time that you think you're ok
Just when things seem to be going well, something comes along to mess it up once again.

You get in your own way
Sometimes you sabotage yourself and prevent positive changes from occurring.

But soon enough you're
Before you know it, you're in over your head.

Knocked down
The situation has taken its toll, and you feel defeated.

Surrounded
Everywhere you turn, there are challenges and obstacles in your path.

By your own denial
You're in denial about the gravity of the situation, which makes it harder to get out of your current predicament.

Give it up for human nature
Acknowledge that human beings have limitations and weaknesses, and accept them rather than trying to fight them.

Give it up now bit by bit
Accept that change doesn't happen overnight and requires patience and perseverance.

Give it up for your frustration
Admit that it's frustrating not being able to control everything and that mistakes will occasionally be made.

Give it up 'cuz kid,
Encouragement to keep going and not give up hope.

Your future lies here dying and
Your potential and opportunities are being wasted because of the current situation.

There's no use crying over it
It's pointless to shed tears over something when you can instead take action to try and fix it.

People tell you to do what they say
Others try to control and manipulate you into doing things their way.

They all want it their way
Everyone wants things to be done according to their preferences and desires.

All that you can do is
You don't have much control over the situation and can only do so much.

Bite lip, or
Choose to suppress your frustration and do what you're told.

Jump ship
Leave the situation altogether if it becomes unbearable.

So learn to smile at the ones that hate you
Try to cultivate goodwill and positivity towards those who have ill will towards you.

No matter what they do
Even if they try to hurt you, rise above it and remain positive.

They will never
The people who try to bring you down will never have control over your life.

Make it there
Their actions won't bring them success and happiness.

To where you
The positive changes you're striving for will eventually bring you to a better place.

Know you will be going
Believe in your own potential and trust that your hard work and determination will pay off.

You'll be the last one
It may take a while before you realize that there's nothing else you can do.

To know when you're all done
It's difficult to tell when you've exhausted all options and need to move on.

But that's just the way life is now
Accept that sometimes things don't work out, and it's necessary to let go and move on.

You gotta take what you get
It's important to be grateful for the opportunities and resources you do have.

And give it up somehow...
Accept that sometimes you have to let go of things you truly want in order to move forward and find greater successes.

Give it up for your anger
Acknowledge that feeling angry and frustrated is normal but it's important to find healthy ways to deal with those emotions rather than letting them control you.

Give it up for the tried and true
Take inspiration from those who have succeeded before you and use their wisdom to help you succeed.

Give it up for everyone
Show appreciation for everyone who has helped you and been there for you along the way, even if they aren't around anymore.

Who's ever gone and given up on you
Take the disappointment you've felt from people leaving you behind and channel it into motivating yourself to succeed even further.

There's no denying
It's impossible to ignore the truth about the situation any longer.

If you're full complying then
If you limit yourself by following every rule and not taking risks, you won't reach your full potential.

There's no use crying over it
No matter how hard the situation is or how hopeless it may feel, crying won’t change anything. It’s better to take action and make the best of the situation.
