I gave up forever… I gave up tomorrow for good [Scrapin’ the Bottom of Yesterday’s Bucket Again]

Scrapin' the Bottom of Yesterday's Barrel, Again

 

 

I gave up forever
I gave up tomorrow for good
I gave up thinkin’ I could
pull it together
I never could

previous AYoS version [Jan 4]

Scrapin’ the Bottom of Yesterday’s Bucket Again

Well I’m scraping the bottom
of yesterday’s bucket again
I wore out my memories
and then I just played them to shreds
I’ll spend my tomorrows
my head bent in sorrow
my heart torn with pain and regret
And all the same
it’s my same old refrain:
I swear I won’t
begin again

and everyone says
just put it to bed
it all worked out for the best
but how could they know
that I love you so
and I won’t stop til I’m dead

I gave up forever
I gave up tomorrow for good
I gave up thinkin’ I could
pull it together
I never could

I gave up on new love
I gave up on hope
I gave up on faith
but never on ghosts
And I gave up thinkin’
I could ever begin again
I won’t begin again
