1. babe I know that you've been burned
but then everybody gets their turn
and all the fear you feel inside
it's made you run to find a place to hide
you build your forterss safe and sound
but you're not really safe until you tear it
down

R: giving it up for love
giving it up for love
giving it up for love
giving it up

2. sweet distrations baby they feel so fine
but they only steal your precious time
and that's a losing game you play baby
and you've got to tear yourself away
well it's a battle
and you might bleed,
but that's the price you pay
for what you need


C: giving it up for love
giving it up for love
giving it up for for all the love you need now

3. you chase your dreams, baby, and
they shine like gold
but the leave you empty in the cold
you set your course for better days
and end up last inside the maze
if you keep running your race alone
your only prize will be a heart of stone!
