Lyrics:
Giving Up:

Yesterday I woke up wanting to die
Haven’t seen the sunlight in some time
Seems like all the plants around me grow to the sky
All my roots are torn up all my leaves run dry
I’m not breathing unless it’s raining
Yea I found saving
In the cracks of the pavement
And I’m done with the misery
Yea I’m done faking tragedies
Cause I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
And from dirt even flowers grow
In the dark night the moon still glows

I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me

Yesterday I woke up wanting to leave
Learning how to stand tall looking up to the trees
Maybe heaven has a halo waiting for me
Even fallen angels get to find their peace

I’m not breathing unless it’s raining
Yea I found saving
In the cracks of the pavement
And I’m done with the misery
Yea I’m done faking tragedies
Cause I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
And from dirt even flowers grow
In the dark night the moon still glows

I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me

Love this song. Almost gave up on me a year and some change ago. So glad I'm still here.

[DanielDaVinchy]

The lyrics, the melodies, the visuals and the message, it’s all so perfect. This song is going to help so many people. Thank you for this

Adopted since birth, raised in a heavily religious southern household, feeling like an outcast is all too familiar for me. I’ve dealt with depression and suicidal ideation my whole life. Bert and The Used have helped me through tough times many times over. After losing my best friend I grew up with tragically and falling into a deep spiral, followed by a breakup of a ten year relationship, I have tried to dig myself out but I’ve kept going deeper, now finding myself feeling so distant and disconnected, along with sadly a cocaine addiction. Finding this song is something I didn’t know I needed but am grateful regardless. I am fighting for clarity. I am fighting for a place in this world. We all have our battles, but we need to find our solace such as this to remind us there’s still hope. I love you all. The band. The music. The people reading this also fighting the fight. Stand strong. We can conquer.

How does this only have 300k+ views?!?! The Used was a HUGE deal in the early to mid 2000s. They have made a LOT of great music!

[joshmedeiros]

The lyrics in this song are so powerful!! Not giving up on me.. as I’m continuing this weightloss journey! 💪

[landoneddington]

I hope this band never stops making music!

[virtualputeri]

Very sure this song is super relatable to most of us right now, I see you and I’m sending you all the virtual hugs 🤗 Thank you The Used for motivating me to pick myself back up time and time again ❤

[shaddsamuelson]

Always believe in yourself!!!! Never give up!❤️❤️❤️❤️

[DOPEY]

The best song that protected my last summer and this year's summer.

[ianmaster]

I've been struggling so much since last year to this day, and seriously this song saved me. This album, this band always have been there for me, but these song gave me the strength to keep moving. Thank you The Used for not giving up on me. 😭🖤 Ps. LOVED the video!

[King_of_Sofa]

I hope 'Top of the World' gets a video. My favorite track from the album

[jonahuman]

This song saved my life, Thank You so much, Joey, Jepha, Dan and Bert ❤

[Kevinsideyou]

Sending strength to anyone out there reading THIS. The Used saved my life, literally. Never Give UP!

[Sincerely_SweetAesthete]

This song is almost spiritual. I hope my husband likes it, he suffers from severe depression. Music is therapy 💓

[amaranthiasummers]

Absolutely adore this song. Been listening to The Used for the past 16 years now and they still grab me <3

[misfitmaik]

Love the album from start to finish, it's dark but ends up hopefully. Love you guys

[brittanylittke]

Loved the video! Love this song. I think they put it last on the album for a reason. The whole album is about how you've struggled with fighting your demons and became your own worst enemy in doing so. You reminisce on how you used to be before all the damage. And at your lowest, you feel too far gone to ever be saved. When you're about to give up completely (yesterday I woke up wanting to die), you find a reason to save yourself. You see a glimmer of your worth (in the cracks of the pavement). The Used will always be my favorite band. They tell stories and convey how so many of us feel inside. They represent those of us left behind by society. This album is one of their best. ❤️

[drunkzombie]

There is so much symbolism I this video. Maybe I'm just high but I see a lot.

[musicking]

Holy shit, amazing video!!! Have listened to this band since the beginning... one of favorite bands... even saw them live. ❤ thank you Bert for your lyrics.

[msjennaluvsmusic]

I love this so much. Thank you guys. Forever. For not ever giving up. We are The Used but not defeated.
