Perfect People - Giving up

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 x2

I’d thought I’d learn to play a song
So all my friends can sing along
Was going fine it sounded strong
But just’a 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 it’s hard to be cool when you want too
I tried but it’s not good enough
I try but I keep giving up

I tried to reinvent my style
But decide that in this world it’s not worth while
I’ll make an effort to be strong
After I rerecord 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 too
I tried but it’s 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 too
I tried but it’s not good enough
I keep trying but I keep giving up

Tried to be cool
But I’m hypocritical
When you’re analytical
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 too
I tried but it’s not good enough
I try but I keep giving up

I tried to be calm and collective
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

I can’t help giving up
