Lyrics When I Gave Up on You - Blondie

When I gave up on you I took my time
Waiting for reasons to change my mind
But there were none
My fever won, so it was clear to me
That we should be done
Even though it was breaking my heart
You were perfect at the start
So right, that's why
Goodbye, so hard to say
And that's the reason
I hadn't known that he walked away
Away
When I gave up on you, I gave up slowly
Waiting for reasons to keep us going
But there were none
Not even one, so it was clear to me
That we should be done
Even though it was breaking my heart
You were perfect at the start
So right and that's why
Goodbye, so hard to say
And that's the reason
I hadn't known that he walked away
Away
I tried hard as I could
Sometimes people try harder than they should
Than they should
We were one in a million galaxies
One in a million wasn't good enough for me
We were one in a million and you know it's true
One in a million wasn't good enough for you
When I gave up on you I took my time
Waiting for reasons to change my mind
But there were none
But there were none
Goodbye, so hard to say
And that's the reason
I hadn't known that he walked away
Away
I tried hard as I could
Sometimes people try harder than they should
Than they should
