Deanna Dixon - Surrender Lyrics

It's day ten I mean eleven
Without that poison to get me through the night
And I cry Why?
I lay in my bed
I scroll through my feed
And I see I see I see everybody living
Every body living
One step closer and two steps back
I don't know why I can't seem to get my life back on track
I'm not living

Surrender
Surrender

I moved to Memphis with a purpose
And then I became a product of my environment
I'be got the heart and soul of blues
Will I always use the same damn chords?
Will I always hate myself when I'm bored?
Who taught us productivity equals worth?

I'm getting tired of ranting to myself
I'm down on my knees begging please "somebody come help I'm ready to start living"

Surrender
Surrender

"Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Only darkness everyday
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And she's always gone too long any time she goes away
Wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
And this house just ain't no home
Any time she goes away
And I know I know I know I know I know
I know I know I know "

Surrender
Surrender

As I battle my way out of the rock and the hard place
I say I say I say
I hope I learn to love myself anyway
It's time to start living
