Lyric discussion by DAWN of DOWN 

Cover art for Gave Up lyrics by Nine Inch Nails

The meaning of this song is obvious...its about being treated like pure crap in a relationship, but until recently he did not see this because he was blinded by the "good" in the girl. He is now giving up on the relationship and saying to the girl "I am not going to let you screw up my life anymore" and he then explains how she screwed it up.

This one goes out to you Chameleonica...
