"Hey guys,

We just read ourselves that Andy and Alex left the band, they did in fact leave but this happened a couple months ago. We've been touring for months without them, everything is fine and Just Surrender is in no way breaking up. We're actually about to announce our tour dates for September / October as well as a UK tour for November. We're currently auditioning new members. Come check us out on Warped tour this weekend!

Just Surrender Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is how it's been, this is how it will be
and when you wake up with him, remember when it was me
and I always will be waiting for you
and I know that you will never see...that

I can't break away from these chains to my heart
the further you push me the closer you are
maybe I should try to let go

maybe I should try to walk away
there's nothing left to say, yeaheeyeah

Do you remember when, you used to laugh there with me
and now I've become the joke, a punchline's all I will be
and I always will be waiting for you
and I know that you will never see ...that

I can't break away from these chains to my heart
the further you push me the closer you are
maybe I should try to let go
maybe I should try to walk away
there's nothing left to say

You'll be waiting for the rest of your life
just so you can finally miss him
These words don't mean a thing but I'll say them anyway
...anyway, yeah

I can't break away from these chains to my heart
the further you push me the closer you are
maybe I should try to let go
maybe I should try to walk away
there's nothing left to say...but

I can't break away from these chains to my heart
the further you push me the closer you are
maybe I should try to let go
maybe I should try to walk away

there's nothing left to say, yeahheahh
‘cause I can't break away
