Giving Up Hurts the Most Lyrics
angels mourn, crying, praying for your soul
as my eyes open from their state of sleep i feel my blood turn into a frozen river
nightmares so close death was in the air
my heart locked shut, and i gave you the key
promise never to leave
as lies hold me emptiness fills my broken heart
screaming your name hoping for a response, silence summer
drowned by winter
to look in your face and realized the time we spent
the chances i had have drifted away from my fingertips
your life, your thoughts, your dreams, your love
never tried my hardest and now i cry as the hurt enters
i love you and i still love you
even though i never showed it
a piece of me is gone forever
clutching memories held so close
repeating words of love spoken to late
my eyes look all around but all they can focus on is you
for in you i find me
days past by and thy death still lingers
this coldness will never satisfy me
i want to be surrounded by angels in a place
where the sun is so warm it burns my insides
surrounded by angels
where love takes my darkest depressions
and throws it into the deepest of sea
a place i can call home, i'm crying to you Jesus
mend me, break me, make me
you're all i've got now
my eyes look all around but all they can focus on is you
for in you i find me
farewell my friend your time has come
and never will i be able to tell you i love you again
as my eyes open from their state of sleep i feel my blood turn into a frozen river
nightmares so close death was in the air
my heart locked shut, and i gave you the key
promise never to leave
as lies hold me emptiness fills my broken heart
screaming your name hoping for a response, silence summer
drowned by winter
to look in your face and realized the time we spent
the chances i had have drifted away from my fingertips
your life, your thoughts, your dreams, your love
never tried my hardest and now i cry as the hurt enters
i love you and i still love you
even though i never showed it
a piece of me is gone forever
clutching memories held so close
repeating words of love spoken to late
my eyes look all around but all they can focus on is you
for in you i find me
days past by and thy death still lingers
this coldness will never satisfy me
i want to be surrounded by angels in a place
where the sun is so warm it burns my insides
surrounded by angels
where love takes my darkest depressions
and throws it into the deepest of sea
a place i can call home, i'm crying to you Jesus
mend me, break me, make me
you're all i've got now
my eyes look all around but all they can focus on is you
for in you i find me
farewell my friend your time has come
and never will i be able to tell you i love you again

Great song, but not a lot of support from the hardcore community on this site, which is too bad, because this band is amazingly talented.
its all about the Jeebus
Drum riff in the beginning is amazing, this band is great. Good song.
This Is An Anwesome Sone And So Is This Quote "My Eyes Look All Around But All They Can Focus On Is You For In You I Find Me Farewell My Friend Your Time Has Come And Never Will I Be Able To Tell You I Love You Again" Thats The Most Meaningful Part Of The Song
holy shit no pun intended i love this song... the crazy ass little part at about 6:20 into the song is so incredible! when theres guitar then drums, then guitar, then drums, then guitar, and drums then they start to screech... great song. worthy of websters.
This songs so powerful, and the ending gives awesome closure.
double bass in this is soooo sick. i wish me could rock out like these guys. to bad. saw them at solid state not to long ago. they kicked asss
i think the song is about how someone who he cared for died, and he blamed god for a long time, eventually abondoning his faith, he later realized that god wasnt to blame. this let him accept the death of his loved one and letting him love jesus again
The difference between "Acts of Depression" and "Cries of the Past" is most noteably the addition of a keyboard. It adds a whole different dynamic to their songs. I was a huge fan of AoD but this album blew me away also.
Is there any old school Underoath fans that doesn't like the new stuff like me?
And if you like Dallas Taylor (old Underoath vocalist), then check out his new project Maylene and The Sons of Disaster. They're southern trash metal but it's absoultely amazing.
And the part 4:57 into the song kicks so much ass. It just seems like a redeeming march or something.
At least the lyrics aren't nearly as corny as AoD's were. ;)
