"I Gave Up" lyrics

I gave up all my striving
I gave up living lies
I gave up analyzing
If I measure up or if I've arrived

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
If love's all we're taking to heaven

I gave up compromising
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
If 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 workload
Run around in circles
Just to keep up with the Joneses
Even in the "nine to five"
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
If 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, yeah
