[Verse 1]
What could you hope to achieve
When I'm crying and you know why?
How do you find your reasons in my deepest, darkest night?
I keep giving you up
I remember when you were my only friend
Now I'm not sure you can feel like that again
I keep giving you up

[Chorus]
And my, you know my mind's made up this time
There's no going back to find what we had
And I know there's no light here left to shine
There's no wrong where there's no right
So enough
I'm giving you up

[Verse 2]
All the things that you said
Well, you seem to forget
Dance around in my head every night
And there's a battle within that I'll never win
'Cause it's me that I'm up against
It’s my heart versus common sense
Can I give you up?

[Chorus]
And my, you know my mind's made up this time
There's no going back to find what we had
And I know there's no light here left to shine
There's no wrong where there's no right
So enough
I'm giving you up

[Bridge]
Strip the layers
Make me better
Help me get out clean
Show your colors
I'm slipping under
Help me through this, please

[Chorus]
And my, you know my mind's made up this time
There's no going back to find what we had
And I know there's no light here left to shine
There's no wrong where there's no right
So enough
I'm giving you up

[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
My mind's made up
Yeah, yeah
I'm giving you up
I'm giving you up
Hey, yeah
I'm giving you up

Miley Cyrus

Miley Ray Cyrus (born Destiny Hope Cyrus, November 23rd 1992) is an American singer, songwriter and actress, as well as the daughter of country singer Billy Ray Cyrus. She was named Destiny Hope Cyrus at birth but was given the nickname “Smiley” because she was always grinning. The name stuck and she legally changed it in 2008.

Her singing career started simultaneously with her role in the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana, which made her a teen idol. She was featured on the 2006 soundtrack of Hannah Montana. After signing a recording contract with Hollywood Records in 2007, she released Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus. The album served as both the series' soundtrack and Cyrus' debut studio album.

With the 2010 release of Can’t Be Tamed, Cyrus developed a more mature image with a dance-oriented sound. The album caused controversy due to the lyrics and music video of Can’t Be Tamed.
