Surrender

I awake,
From the dream,
That sends me right back when I first saw your face.
I look around,
Nothing's as it seems,
Because you're long gone, nothing but a memory, in my head.
I count the days,
I want to know,
How was it so easy for you to up and let me go?
And I lay still,
In pure defeat,
This war we're waging I'm the one who never could retreat.
Wait just a minute!
This isn't how it's supposed to be.
So many things we never said the things we never got to see.
Wait just a minute,
This isn't how it's supposed to end.
Just do one thing for me and help this broken heart to mend.
Put your hands up, put your hands, put your hands up,
Put your hands up and surrender.
Put your hands up, put your hands, put your hands up,
Put your hands up and remember, me.
And after everything,
Why does it seem,
Like I'm the one who walks, smile, when I'm wanting to scream?
I hold my breath,
You hold the key,
You never took the time to see what's inside of me.
And I know, I know, I know,
It should get easier,
Yet I still wrestle with the thought of who you really were.
And I know, I know, I know,
There was some good in you;
You chose to hide it like you had something to prove.
Wait just a minute!
This isn't how it's supposed to be,
I let the best of you slip right in and attach to me.
Wait just a minute!
This isn't how it's supposed to end,
Just do one thing for me and help this broken heart to mend.
Put your hands up, put your hands, put your hands up,
Put your hands up and surrender.
Put your hands up, put your hands, put your hands up,
Put your hands up and remember.
Put your hands up, put your hands, put your hands up,
Put your hands up and surrender.
Put your hands up, put your hands, put your hands up,
Put your hands up and remember, me.
Put your hands up and surrender.
