LYRICS

Giving Me A Chance lyrics
You know I never want to let you down
It cuts me up to see you sad
And I wish that I could undo what I've done
Give back the faith in me you had

You know I love you more than anyone
But I get a little wrapped up in myself
But you know I never want to do you wrong
Bring into question what we have

I know I let you down
I know I let you down
But you're giving me a chance

[moocow]

Having listened to more of Gotye's music, I'm honestly surprised they're not very popular. Some really good music with a big dash of heart and soul.

[artstea]

The world needs him back, his music was the embodiment of perfection & he captured true art in it's most beautiful essence. Goyte please come back

[steelrain]

When i hear this song i feel like im laying on a grassland far away from civilization with a light rain.

I assure you im not high.

[Sreedharashwin]

This breaks my heart into a million pieces

[alex]

I'm identifying with the video. Sometimes, we do things that hurt people, and tear them apart. And when all is done, we try to pick all the pieces and put em back together. However, this pieces had become something totally different, and we can't get the things back to where it all started. It's really sad, but life goes on at the end.

[abeltheman]

To be honest my favorite song from Gotye, this song is just perfect, really smooth, and beautiful. Reminds me of how good life used to be when I was still with my parents. This song will always be one of his bests.

[Diogenes_Lantern]

This video explains the process of putting oneself back together again after a relationship, after the significant other is internalized and eventually dejected from the parting of ways. I can also see it as being an attempt to mend the relationship again, collecting parts from the past in attempt to heal. Interesting and thought-provoking piece of art. Seems like a psychologist's wet dream.

3:06 the green thing is how i go up my stairs

[maddadification]

this song doesn't have to be just about a girlfriend to me its about family friends. or even yourself.

[lifeneverfeltsogood]

The world needs Gotye. Please come back 😢

[helaynabostian]

I cannot express how much I adore everything this man creates.

[kravchenko]

Creativity is everywhere in his art. Animation is as perfect as music. Good job!

[johnmicah]

Gotye is the only artist I've ever witnessed that seems to show the ambition to put a video to nearly every one of his songs. I wish more artists would do that.

[greenmonsterland]

i loved how he used all of these animated music videos for his backgrounds in concert. he is sooo amazing if any of you guys havent seen him live you should do so.

[vidlwebby]

You know I never want to let you down
Cuts me up to see you sad
And I wish that I could undo what I've done
Give back the faith in me you had
Oh yeah
Oh yeah

You know I love you more than anyone
But I get a little wrapped up in myself
But you know I never want to do you wrong
Bring into question what we have
Oh yeah

I know I let you down
I know I let you down
But you're giving me a chance

(Ooh)

Oh yeah
I know I let you down
I know I let you down
But you're giving me a chance

Don't worry

[abeltheman]

This song makes me feel good, and sad at the same time

[Mrdrumlover]

A true artist in every sense of the word... ART AT IT'S FINEST!!!!
I believe that it is not important to Gotye how many people his art reaches... but rather, how his art impacts even one heart and soul.
Thank you Wally, collaborators and crew for ALL the hard work and the resulting beauty that you put out into this troubled world!!!! The Karma will run over the dogma!!!!

Much Peace and Love,
