Too many people, too much to love
And I can't learn my lesson, can't focus on one
So I run from the people who love me the most
And when I come back they are already ghosts
'Cause I gave to little and wanted to much
And I know it's not fair but don't give me up

Mm
Don't give me up
Mm
Don't give me up

Lie by the green river banks
I need their love paid in advance
It's harder to stay every time
But don't get me wrong, I want this to stop
Don't give me up

Too much to say and too little time
And my head can't afford to leave something behind
And I run between faces to fast for them to sigh
And then when I leave, well they don't really mind
'Cause I gave too little and wanted too much
And I know it's not fair but don't give me up

Mhm
Don't give me up
Mhm
Don't give me up

Lie by the green river banks
I need their love paid in advance
It's harder to stay every time
But don't get me wrong, I want this to stop
Don't give me up

Lie by the green river banks
I need their love paid in advance
It's harder to stay every time
But don't get me wrong, I want this to stop
Don't give me up
