Giving Back Songtext
von Vanilla Sky

I know it′s hard to tell the truth
I know it isn't easy to admit
We are what remains of an unspoken youth
Who fights for everything but his rights
Criticized yet forever compromised

I′m giving back again all the promises you made
You can keep them 'cause I don't deserve
To be threatened by another lie
I′m giving back again all the fucking sleepless nights
Spent dreaming of a better future
Where we could finally feel alive

I know it′s hard to face the truth
I know it isn't easy to embrace
The kind of future that
They′ve prepared for us
A delusional state of mind
Criticized yet forever compromised


I'm giving back again all the promises you made
You can keep them ′cause I don't deserve
To be threatened by another lie
I′m giving back again all the fucking sleepless nights
Spent dreaming of a better future
Where we could finally feel alive

For every sacrifice we've made
For every truth you've ever traded
For all of this I′ll never surrender
No, we′ll never surrender
For every painful day we've been through
For every losing attitude
For all of this I′ll never surrender
No, we'll never surrender

I′m giving back again all the promises you made
You can keep them 'cause I don′t deserve
To be threatened by another lie
I'm giving back again all the fucking sleepless nights
Spent dreaming of a better future
Where we could finally feel alive
