Ingrid Michaelson - Giving Up

Lyrics:
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 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?

I am giving up on making passes and
I am giving up on half empty glasses 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 glasses and
I am giving up on greener grasses
I am giving up

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

I do not own the music or the pictures included in this video. Those things belong to cooler, far superior people, like Ingrid Michaelson.

I've lately been falling for my best friend lately, and I started giving up because I thought about it for a long time, and my head won over my heart in the battle. I realized that maybe being friends would be the best and I am currently trying to fall out of love with him, but I have to be particularly hard on myself because he likes me too. I'm sobbing at the computer and have just found this song.

I am giving up.

@Zaqqui1029 Hey. I think you might be misinterpreting the song. I feel like she's saying she's giving up on all of her fears and insecurities, and she's gonna do what her heart tells her to. I don't know you, but I don't think that you should give up on your feelings. I think you should give up on being scared of them. I hope things get better for you.

I only wish I were half as beautiful as Ingrid.

@splat729 I agree with you about the meaning of the song, but its the same message isnt it? giving up on something its not good nor convenient for you, she gave up to her insecurities as well, isnt what ingrid was trying to say anyways? :)

[ameliatheskatergirl]

I love you Ingrid.

@splat729 Thank you so much. You have no idea how much that meant to me. See, my friend just called me and said he likes me so much too, but doesn't think I do. Then I received this from you and have a completely different view on this song. I do not know who you are, but I am so glad that you said this. Thank you.
