[Verse 1] No more barricades, slowly diffusing I'll be leaving now, nobody's losing If you could play a part, stay in resistance Every fault would fade into the distance [Chorus] Run if you like All of the things that you left behind Hold me down You can't deny and I can't deny Open your eyes I'll look away and you come around To build your words High enough to carry you over [Post-Chorus] And I never would've given you up (Never would've given you up, you up) If you only hadn't given me up (Only hadn't given me up, me up) And I never would've given you up (Never would've given you up, you up) [Verse 2] No more clarity, only confusion Every focused thought, just an illusion If I could see you now, if you could listen Every fault would fade into the distance [Chorus] Run if you like All of the things that you left behind Hold me down You can't deny and I can't deny Open your eyes I'll look away and you come around To build your words High enough to carry you over [Post-Chorus] And I never would've given you up (Never would've given you up, you up) If you only hadn't given me up (Only hadn't given me up, me up) And I never would've given you up (Never would've given you up, you up) [Bridge] And you are If I only hadn't given you up If you only hadn't given me up And you are If I only hadn't given you up Losin' my breath and leaving' the rest [Chorus] Run if you like All of the things that you left behind Hold me down You can't deny and I can't deny Open your eyes I'll look away and you come around To build your words High enough to carry you over [Post-Chorus] And I never would've given you up (Never would've given you up, you up) If you only hadn't given me up (Only hadn't given me up, me up) And I never would've given you up (Never would've given you up, you up) [Outro] If you only hadn't given me up (Only hadn't given me up, me up) And I never would've given you up (Never would've given you up, you up) If you only hadn't given me up (Only hadn't given me up, me up) If you only hadn't given me up (Only hadn't given me up, me up) And I never would've given you up (Never would've given you up, you up)
