 What if we stop having a ball?
 What if the paint chips from the wall?
 What if there's always cups in the sink?
What  if I'm not what you think, think  I am?
 What if I fall further than you?
 What if you dream of somebody new?
 What if I never let you win, chase you with a rolling pin?
 Well what if I do?
 'Cause I  am giving up  on making  passes and
I  am giving up  on half  empty glassess and
I  am giving up  on greener  grasses.
I  am giving  up.
 What if our baby comes home after nine?
 What it your eyes close before mine?
 What if you lose yourself sometimes? Then I'll be the one to find you
 Safe in my heart.
 I am giving up on making passes and
 I am giving up on half empty glassess and
 I am giving up on greener grasses.
 I am giving up.
 Bridge/outro:
I  am giving up.
I  am giving up.
I  am giving up  on  greener grasses.
I  am giving up  for  you.
I  am giving up  for  you.
I  am giving up.
