Giving Up On Love
K. Michelle Lyrics

Runnin' away from home
Couldn't make it to Friday on your own!
I've drawn a million lines
Just to erase them all
Ain't no sense in compromisin' on the low
What's a few mistakes
If it's make or break
Baby, we should make love!
And now that we've found it and this is the one
And all of the struggle that we've overcome
If it can't work when it's sent from above
Then I'm givin' up
I'm givin' up
I'm givin' up on love!
Tried to cut me loose
We never come undone
When you're chased down by the truth
Got nowhere to run!
Oooo, what we gotta do
Just to keep holdin' on?
After everything we've been through
Indestructible, yeah!
What's a few mistakes
When we've made them all?
If it's make or break
Maybe we should make love!
And now that we've found it and this is the one
And all of the struggle that we've overcome
If it can't work when it's sent from above
Then I'm givin' up
I'm givin' up
I'm givin' up on love!
If there is no us, then I don't know love
Yeah, I'll just give up, I'm givin' up, givin' up
If there is no us, I don't know love
Yeah, I'll just give up, I'm givin' up, givin' up
Now that we've found it and this is the one
All of the struggle that we've overcome
If it can't work when it's sent from above
Then I'm givin' up
I'm givin' up
I'm givin' up on love!
I'm givin' up on lo-o-ove
The lyrics to K. Michelle's song "Giving Up On Love" express the frustration and desperation that can come with trying to make a relationship work. The opening lines depict a sense of struggle as the individual tries to escape their problems by running away from home. However, they realize that avoiding their issues won't solve anything. The mention of drawing a million lines and erasing them symbolizes the countless attempts at compromise and finding common ground, but ultimately feeling defeated.
The chorus suggests that despite all the mistakes and difficulties they've faced, the couple should still try to make their love work. The line "if it can't work when it's sent from above, then I'm giving up" implies that they believe their love is meant to be and should have a chance to flourish. The song highlights the determination to hold on to the relationship and not give up, as they have overcome struggles before and are seemingly indestructible.
However, as the song progresses, there is a sense of doubt creeping in. The line "tried to cut me loose, we never come undone" reveals the partner's attempt to end the relationship but failing because they are bound by a strong connection. The bridge emphasizes the importance of their bond and questions what they have to do to keep holding on. The repetition of "if there is no us, then I don't know love" showcases the individual's dependence on the relationship and the fear of losing it.
In the end, the repeated refrain of "I'm giving up on love" reflects a sense of resignation and despair. Despite all the efforts and belief in their love, there seems to be a realization that it may not be enough to make the relationship work. It is a bittersweet admission that loving someone can also mean acknowledging when it's time to let go.
Line by Line Meaning
You tried a couple times
You made attempts on multiple occasions
Runnin' away from home
Escaping from your problems and responsibilities
Couldn't make it to Friday on your own!
Unable to endure the week without support
I've drawn a million lines
I have set countless boundaries
Just to erase them all
Only to discard them later
Ain't no sense in compromisin' on the low
There is no point in settling for less secretly
What's a few mistakes
Why worry about a few errors
When we've made them all?
Considering the numerous mistakes we have already made
If it's make or break
If our relationship is at a critical point
Baby, we should make love!
Then we should prioritize intimacy
And now that we've found it and this is the one
Since we have discovered true love and this relationship is special
And all of the struggle that we've overcome
After surpassing all the difficulties we faced
If it can't work when it's sent from above
If this relationship, blessed from a higher power, is unable to function
Then I'm givin' up
In that case, I am surrendering
Tried to cut me loose
You attempted to let me go
We never come undone
But we always manage to stay connected
When you're chased down by the truth
When confronted by the reality
Got nowhere to run!
With no escape route available
Oooo, what we gotta do
What do we need to do
Just to keep holdin' on?
To simply maintain our connection
After everything we've been through
Despite all the experiences we shared
Indestructible, yeah!
We are unbreakable
If there is no us, then I don't know love
If our relationship does not exist, I am unfamiliar with love
Yeah, I'll just give up, I'm givin' up, givin' up
Yes, I will surrender and abandon the pursuit
Now that we've found it and this is the one
Since we have discovered true love and this relationship is special
All of the struggle that we've overcome
Despite all the difficulties we faced and conquered
If it can't work when it's sent from above
If this relationship, blessed from a higher power, is unable to function
Then I'm givin' up
In that case, I am surrendering
I'm givin' up on love!
I am relinquishing my belief in love
I'm givin' up on lo-o-ove
I am abandoning my hope for love
