I thought I’d teach myself to drive So I could take you for a ride Was gonna go to the seaside Was gonna spend the day outside But I can’t help giving up But I can’t help giving up…
I thought I’d learn to play a song So all my friends could sing along Was going fine, it sounded strong But just like usual I went wrong Cause I can’t help giving up… I know I’m not good enough
I tried to be cool cause I want you But its hard to be cool when you want to I try but its not good enough I try but I keep giving up
I tried to re-invent my style But decided after a while that it’s not worthwhile I’ll make an effort to be strong After I re-record this song
Cause I can’t help giving up I know I’m not good enough…
I tried to be cool cause I want you But it’s hard to be cool when you want to I tried but its not good enough I try but I keep giving up
I tried to be cool cause I want you But it’s hard to be cool when you want to I try but its not good enough I keep trying but I keep giving up
Tried to be cool But I’m hypocritical Way too antilytical And I always act a fool No I can’t help giving up… I know I’m not good enough
I tried to be cool cause I want you But it’s hard to be cool when you want to I tried but its not good enough I try but I keep giving up
I tried to be calm and collected But it’s hard to be calm when rejected I try but it’s not good enough I keep trying but I keep giving up
