Shawshank Redemption Songtext
von Speech Debelle

Yeah
For my boogaloo
Aye
I gave up
I gave up


You notice you′re so focused
On the things they don't do or don′t do for you
You said they have not grown, not like you
But forgetting that you still got growing to do too
And it's a simple fact
You're supposed to have a future together so you work with that
I said you wasn′t focused
But now look at your focus
Somebody else seeing progress cause they had patience
I was tired of waiting
But you weren′t tired of waiting
Cause you put up with me
I should've put up with you too
Now I′m sitting here saying how much I care for you
Sitting here sipping on something saying I'm missing you
And all the while you was waiting
Full of frustration
Holding you at arms length for ages
I′m kinda ashamed to say it
Hey, I gotta live with that

I never called
You were my only
Wounds have all now
I'm lonely
I gave up sure for unsure
Never do that
I gave up sure for unsure
Never do that
But I was a fool
For losing it slowly
Letting you walk away from me
I gave up sure for unsure
Never do that
I gave up sure for unsure
Never do that


Something had to give
You had to live
So you letting go was really the best thing
You did it for yourself, I can see that
Yes, thinking bout my own selfishness
Less would′ve been better for us
I bought nothing but fuss
We debated about where we're taking this love
I lied to you
Now I cry for you
Cause my pride told me that I wanted more than you
But wanting wanting can't get and getting getting I want it
Foundation wasn′t strong that′s why I fell off it
The promise I made to you wasn't honest
Too smart for myself so I lost the profits of you
Things that I do make me question my sanity
Chasing the ones that will never be right for me
I′m kinda ashamed to say it
Hey, I gotta live with that

I never called
You were my only
Wounds have all now
I'm lonely
I gave up sure for unsure
Never do that
I gave up sure for unsure
Never do that
But I was a fool
For losing it slowly
Letting you walk away from me
I gave up sure for unsure
Never do that
I gave up sure for unsure
Never do that
I never called
You were my only
Wounds have all now
I′m lonely
I gave up sure for unsure
Never do that
I gave up sure for unsure
Never do that
But I was a fool
For losing it slowly
Letting you walk away from me
I gave up sure for unsure
Never do that
I gave up sure for unsure
Never do that

My ego's amazing
Always gets me in situations
Like this cause I′m so fly
So I let you walk by
I wasn't keen on staying
Now I ended up with Nathan
And Nathan he gives me nothing
I get nothing from Nathan

I gave up
I gave up
I gave up sure for unsure
I gave up sure for unsure
I gave up sure for unsure
I gave up sure for unsure
