Give It Up

Maybe I should just give it all up
What's the worth of me?
All the dreams, like balloons, flying high above me
Are they just waiting there to be popped?
I should just give it up,
Saves me all the pain
Forget the castles in the clouds
They'll tumble down; I'm sure
Give it up; forget your dreams;
Just make your way, quietly
Should I hold on to the balloons, or should I let them go?
Should dreams stay with me? Maybe.
I think I might wait and see.
