Juliette Reilly I Surrender Lyrics

You said I gotta kill my darlings
If I wanna stay alive
You said I gotta walk through fire
To make it to the other side
Well I got up to the top of the throne
And all I wanted was another sword to lean on
So I'm disarming;
'least I can say I tried
~~~
(I surrender.)
~~~
You said I gotta feed the foxes
Swim with the sharks
'Guess I could never check your boxes
Didn't leave a mark
(I didn't leave a mark, oh...)
Well, I got down to the end of the road
And all I wanted was another hand to hold
But I bare your crosses, so what's a broken heart?

Oh, I'll put up my white flag
Can't win this war— no truce
(Oh oh, oh oh)
Don't know what else I can do;
I saved the last song for you
You said I should've seen it coming
Like an avalanche
Thought that you would see me running Fighting for a chance
Well I've been faced with the devil himself
So go ahead and take it all
I've lived through hell
And I sleep with the demons
So what's a little man?

Oh, I'll put up my white flag
Can't win this war— no truce
(Oh, oh...)
Don't know what else I can do;
I saved the last song for you
I saved the last song for you
I saved the last song for you

Well I've been faced with the devil himself
So go ahead and take it all
I've lived through hell
And I sleep with the demons
So what's a little man?

Oh, I'll put up my white flag
Can't win this war— no truce
(Oh, oh...)
Don't know what else I can do;
I saved the last song for you
I saved the last song for you
I saved the last song for you
