Giving Up by Holly Williams
“GIVING UP”
Holly Williams sings about a friend’s unsuccessful rehab
17 years with a wedding ring
The saddest damn story you ever seen
2 little kids and a good hearted man
Trying to save her if they can
I tried myself, I cried with her
I held her hand, we talked to the Lord
But we’re only human and we can’t change
Somebody’s will to leave their ways
The doctor said you’d die
If you had another drink
Well I wonder if it scares you, I wonder if you think
About the daughter that you’re leaving, the man you used to love
And the son that cries for you, oh yes that child that cries for you
Well I guess this is it, you must be giving up
You put us all through a living hell
A thousand excuses for your liquor trail
But my compassion is fading fast
Another rehab and you break another glass
Bottles in dryers, bottles in shoes
There were even bottles in the baby’s room
You’re losing everything that you ever had
Your life is one thing all that money can’t buy back
The doctor said you’d die
If you had another drink
Well I wonder if it scares you, I wonder if you think
About the daughter that you’re leaving, the man you used to love
And the son that cries for you, oh yes that child that cries for you
Well I guess this is it, you must be giving up
17 years with a wedding ring
The saddest damn story you ever seen
2 little kids and a good hearted man
Trying to save her if they can
