I Surrender Lyrics
You've got secrets, yeah
And I've got a weakness for them
No this ain't the time or place to show your face 'cause you know that I can't stand
The need to get even, tonight
When everything you say won't come out right
So I'll try to save some face and take my space till the time's right
'Cause we'll need it
So I surrender
I can't forget her
Will you remember the truth?
'Cause they won't even want me to
Wish you would read this, oh yeah
And know that I mean it. I did.
Yeah I could fill every page with all my ways that I tried to understand.
Wished things could be different.
Alright, well it ain't for the lack of how I tried.
So let's go our separate ways, and count the days as we get by. Cause we'll get by.
So I surrender
I can't forget her
Will you remember the truth?
'Cause they won't even want me to
This'll drag on and on and on, where I'm the only one who's wrong. It's always somethin, its always somethin with me and you.
So I surrender
I can't forget her. Will you remember the truth?
'Cause they wont even want me to.
They won't even want me to
So I surrender
And I've got a weakness for them
No this ain't the time or place to show your face 'cause you know that I can't stand
The need to get even, tonight
When everything you say won't come out right
So I'll try to save some face and take my space till the time's right
'Cause we'll need it
I can't forget her
Will you remember the truth?
'Cause they won't even want me to
And know that I mean it. I did.
Yeah I could fill every page with all my ways that I tried to understand.
Wished things could be different.
Alright, well it ain't for the lack of how I tried.
So let's go our separate ways, and count the days as we get by. Cause we'll get by.
I can't forget her
Will you remember the truth?
'Cause they won't even want me to
I can't forget her. Will you remember the truth?
'Cause they wont even want me to.
They won't even want me to
So I surrender

I take this song as finally accepting (surrendering) to the thought of missing an old relationship. "So I surrender I can't forget her"
It seems that this relationship always comes up "its always somethin with me and you"
I don't think this is a song about ending anything. I think it's about a girl doing something terrible to him and she's mad that he's disappointed in her for it. (A common reaction when girls make mistakes) He knows that she'll always do that to him and it's always gonna be painful for him. But the girl means to much to him so he's surrendering to the idea that he'll always be in pain when he's with her. To him it's worth it though, because she means more to him than escaping his pain. He accepts her and the pain she comes with because she can't care enough about how she's hurting him
