Release Date2008-02-17
DescriptionGiven Up was released as the 4th single to the 2007 album Minutes to Midnight. It is a unique song in various aspects. It is the heaviest song on the album with an amazing 17-second-long scream. It is the 1st song where Chester uses ‘fuck’ in a song and by extension contains the 2nd (1st being “When They Come For Me”) most amount of profanity of any Linkin Park song.
Lyrics[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
Wake in a sweat again
Another day's been laid to waste, in my disgrace
Stuck in my head again
Feels like I'll never leave this place, there's no escape

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm my own worst enemy

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I've given up, I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me
[Verse 2: Chester Bennington]
I don't know what to take
Thought I was focused but I'm scared, I'm not prepared
I hyperventilate
Looking for help somehow, somewhere and no one cares

[Pre-Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I'm my own worst enemy

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I've given up, I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with me

[Bridge: Chester Bennington]
God!
Put me out of my misery!
Put me out of my misery!
Put me out of my
Put me out of my fucking misery!

[Chorus: Chester Bennington]
I've given up, I'm sick of feeling
Is there nothing you can say?
Take this all away, I'm suffocating
Tell me what the fuck is wrong with meYou might also like
