Don't give up on me
Cause I'm just in a rut
I'm climbing but the walls
Keep stacking up

Can't keep my mind off
Of every little wrong
I see the mouths are open
But I can't hear the song
I've done my best to fill 'em
But the cracks are starting to spread
Hey, I won't blame you, baby
Go on, turn your head

Don't give up on me
Cause I'm just in a rut
I'm climbing but the walls
Keep stacking up

I can't keep pretending
This next stop isn't mine
The truth is on the table
And someone's gotta sign
I've done my best defending
But the punches are starting to land
I'm sliding into something
You won't understand

Don't give up on me
Cause I'm just in a rut
I'm climbing but the walls
Keep stacking up

Don't give up on me
Cause I'm just in a rut
I'm climbing but the walls
Keep stacking up

So, I'm handing you a memory
I hope you understand
That steadily reminds you
Of who I really am

This city's always breathing
I wish that it would die
The kickbacks and the bachelors
The fever for the velvet rope
The money from my mother's men
I'm not like her
You're not like them

I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb
I'll climb and I'll climb

Oh, but don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
Don't you give up on me
