I Gave Up

I gave up all my striving

I gave up living lies

I gave up analyzing

if I measure up or if I’m right?

I gave up criticizing

I gave up being right

I gave up always trying

to be good enough in some people’s eyes

Well I don’t need a house on top of the world

I like the car I’m driving

Everything I got ain’t what I’m worth

That’s not the reason I’m living

I don’t need to see my name in lights

or leave any grand impression

I’ve got everything I need in life

‘cause love’s all we’re taking to heaven

I gave up comprising

I gave up all my pride

I gave up justifying

and found who I was in my Savior’s eyes

Well I don’t need a house on top of the world

I like the car I’m driving

Everything I got ain’t what I’m worth

That’s not the reason I’m living

I don’t need to see my name in lights

or leave any grand impression

I’ve got everything I need in life

‘cause love’s all we’re taking to heaven

Always working, never stopping, talking on the cell phone

Never find the time to get away and leave the work load

Run around in circles just to keep up with the Joneses

Even in the 9 to 5 all I really know is ...

I don’t need a house on top of the world

I like the car I’m driving

Everything I got ain’t what I’m worth

That’s not the reason I’m living

I don’t need a house on top of the world

I like the car I’m driving

Everything I got ain’t what I’m worth

That’s not the reason I’m living

I don’t need to see my name in lights

or leave any grand impression

I’ve got everything I need in life

‘cause love’s all we’re taking to heaven

I gave up all my striving

I gave up living lies

I gave up justifying

and found who I was in my Savior’s eyes

I gave up Oh I gave up

I gave up

Oh yea!
