about

I Surrender (The Denial Song)
When you fall so deeply for a friend and would do anything, including change everything about yourself, to be with them. This is probably the oldest song on the album. I wrote this when I was much younger ...

lyrics

Your eyes they call to me from across the room
You’re the centre of the hurricane and I’m the monsoon
I wanna leave you be, but I don’t wanna let go
I wanna keep my secrets, but I wanna tell them all

You’re unlike any man I’ve ever known
You’re loving me one minute and the next you’re ice cold
When I think you’ve finally let me in you go and close the door
And I know I should hate it but I love it and I’m coming back for more

Ch) And I surrender, I forfeit
I’m raising the white flag
I surrender, I’m giving up
I want you as my man

Hey

I’m drawn to you the way a moth is drawn to a flame
When I think you’re serious you let me know I’m just a pawn in your game
I’m just a toy in your playroom world, you always keep me on my toes
You always keep me guessing until the end, I guess I’ll never really know

Ch)

It’s the way things are with us, you can look, but you can’t see
You’re looking at my heart as goods, baby take it from me
You gotta play by the rules of love, you can take but you gotta give
Well I don’t wanna lose you so I’ve decided it’s the way I’ve gotta live

Ch)
