What I’m Giving Up Lyrics by Zach John King
I hear you wondering on the other end of the line
Weren’t we doing pretty good ‘fore we left it all behind
Does that small town living still cross your mind
Am I making you pay for a dream that’s mine?
You’re there in the bed, I’m singing in a bar
Five state lines in between us
‘Stead of holdin’ on to you, I’m holdin’ this guitar
Keep saying that it’s only for a season
I swear to myself, I’m doing it for us
But I wonder if what I’m chasing down’s worth what I’m giving up
Your mama had a birthday, hate I wasn’t there
I couldn’t say “No” to a show in God knows where
I know the give and the take, no, it don’t seem fair
But it’s gonna get better, baby, that’s my prayer
That’s my prayer
You’re there in the bed, I’m singing in a bar
Five statelines in between us
‘Stead of holdin’ on to you, I’m holdin’ this guitar
Keep saying that it’s only for a season
I swear to myself I’m doing it for us
But I wonder if what I’m chasing down’s worth what I’m giving up
Yeah
Between the bend and the break there’s a real fine line
Am I making you pay for a dream that’s mine?
You’re there in the bed, I’m singing in a bar
Five state lines in between us
‘Stead of holdin’ on to you, I’m holdin’ this guitar
Keep saying that it’s only for a season
I swear to myself I’m doing it for us
But I wonder if what I’m chasing down’s worth what I’m giving up
Wonder if what I’m chasing down’s worth what I’m giving up?
Is what I’m chasing down worth what I’m giving up?
Yeah, yeah
