Lyrics:
Giving Up:
Yesterday I woke up wanting to die
Haven’t seen the sunlight in some time
Seems like all the plants around me grow to the sky
All my roots are torn up all my leaves run dry
I’m not breathing unless it’s raining
Yea I found saving
In the cracks of the pavement
And I’m done with the misery
Yea I’m done faking tragedies
Cause I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
And from dirt even flowers grow
In the dark night the moon still glows
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
Yesterday I woke up wanting to leave
Learning how to stand tall looking up to the trees
Maybe heaven has a halo waiting for me
Even fallen angels get to find their peace
I’m not breathing unless it’s raining
Yea I found saving
In the cracks of the pavement
And I’m done with the misery
Yea I’m done faking tragedies
Cause I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
And from dirt even flowers grow
In the dark night the moon still glows
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me
I’m not giving up on me

Adopted since birth, raised in a heavily religious southern household, feeling like an outcast is all too familiar for me. I’ve dealt with depression and suicidal ideation my whole life. Bert and The Used have helped me through tough times many times over. After losing my best friend I grew up with tragically and falling into a deep spiral, followed by a breakup of a ten year relationship, I have tried to dig myself out but I’ve kept going deeper, now finding myself feeling so distant and disconnected, along with sadly a cocaine addiction. Finding this song is something I didn’t know I needed but am grateful regardless. I am fighting for clarity. I am fighting for a place in this world. We all have our battles, but we need to find our solace such as this to remind us there’s still hope. I love you all. The band. The music. The people reading this also fighting the fight. Stand strong. We can conquer.
Love vibe to u. We all suffering time to time
Remember, you matter! Love you brother, keep getting back up for more. It's worth going through the pain to feel even a flicker of joy.
The lyrics, the melodies, the visuals and the message, it’s all so perfect. This song is going to help so many people. Thank you for this
Just looks like someone vomited mk ultra everywhere
Agreed
Very sure this song is super relatable to most of us right now, I see you and I’m sending you all the virtual hugs 🤗 Thank you The Used for motivating me to pick myself back up time and time again ❤
Everyone. It’s elite emo music with some dance elements if you tap in lol
Love this song. Almost gave up on me a year and some change ago. So glad I'm still here.
Glad you didn't go through with it, your a person & you matter.
It's not the answer. Stay strong I know how you feel.
I’m so glad you’re still here. :))
I’m glad too!👊
4 years we bing chill
I'm a highly functioning depressed 30s man. I've been listening to this band since I was 14 years old. Thank you for this song guys, God knows how much I can relate to this song. There surely are bad days and there are worse days but I'm never giving up. I'M NOT GIVING UP ON ME.
This is so good but you must hear “The Wave” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🤘🎧🐺
If you ever find yourself feeling alone or depressed just know that this stranger cares about you.
Absolutely adore this song. Been listening to The Used for the past 16 years now and they still grab me
How does this only have 300k+ views?!?! The Used was a HUGE deal in the early to mid 2000s. They have made a LOT of great music!

they were also quite different to this, as an old fan from that time, I honestly haven't listened to them in about a decade, and just came back out of random curiosity
I hope 'Top of the World' gets a video. My favorite track from the album
I hope this band never stops making music!
Always believe in yourself!!!! Never give up!❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is so good but you must hear “Live Not Survive” or “Whispering Wolf” by SLT 🎹🐺🤘
I've been struggling so much since last year to this day, and seriously this song saved me. This album, this band always have been there for me, but these song gave me the strength to keep moving. Thank you The Used for not giving up on me. 😭🖤 Ps. LOVED the video!
Music greatly heals. I hope you're in a better spot now.
The lyrics in this song are so powerful!! Not giving up on me.. as I’m continuing this weightloss journey! 💪
Loved the video! Love this song. I think they put it last on the album for a reason. The whole album is about how you've struggled with fighting your demons and became your own worst enemy in doing so. You reminisce on how you used to be before all the damage. And at your lowest, you feel too far gone to ever be saved. When you're about to give up completely (yesterday I woke up wanting to die), you find a reason to save yourself. You see a glimmer of your worth (in the cracks of the pavement). The Used will always be my favorite band. They tell stories and convey how so many of us feel inside. They represent those of us left behind by society. This album is one of their best. ❤️
The Used is my soul mate.

Love the album from start to finish, it's dark but ends up hopefully. Love you guys
Holy shit, amazing video!!! Have listened to this band since the beginning... one of favorite bands... even saw them live. ❤ thank you Bert for your lyrics.
Heard this song on channel 36 alt. Rock Xm Sirius radio a week ago.. MADE MY DAY to hear The Used on the radio again 😎💪
I love this so much. Thank you guys. Forever. For not ever giving up. We are The Used but not defeated.
There is so much symbolism I this video. Maybe I'm just high but I see a lot.
I used to love this band for years, but they turn even better with time and never miss a chance to amaze me. There's not enough positivity in the music industry and this song is totally accurate and speak to all of us, you can be happy in the dirt and sad in the silk, so happiness is a choice, I'm trying to learn this lesson to cure my depression and this song is on point. Vive The Used ! 🎉
This song is almost spiritual. I hope my husband likes it, he suffers from severe depression. Music is therapy 💓
Loving the newest album. Glad to see more music still after all these years!
Im glad everyone didnt give up 🎉🎉🎉❤

Been a fan for 20 yrs, and cycle back again and again...
So happy to see a new video! The song is amazing. The album is amazing. The band is amazing.
When I was younger The Used saved my life with their music. And again now. I just ended an 8 year relationship because of infidelity he had with 2 women. I feel so lost in myself because of it. But, I'm not giving up on me.
Awesome video!! Love the song so much I haven't stopped listening to it since it came out!!! IN BERT WE TRUST ❤❤❤❤
歌詞とメロディが相俟って毎日見てしまう

Awesome song and awesome video!🤟💪🔥 Huge thanks the Used❤🎉❤
One of my fav songs from this album god its so good
My mom died 9 months ago, and when I felt the lowest I thought about how she would always be there to pick me up and how she wouldn't want me to succumb to the emptiness I was feeling. The grief was the only thing guiding me, and slowly like a flower growing, I've been finding myself again. This song always makes me cry since it's everything I've felt in this new place I've been in. Im not giving up on me, I can't and I won't.
💜💜💜
Amazing song and killer video!!!! 💥💥💥💥
Omg! I wasn’t expecting this! I love you so much guys! Thanks. ❤️❤️❤️
The Used has been my favorite band since I was in middle school. ❤️
1 word: woah
De buenas a primeras me queda decir que ésta canción me salvó la vida, verlos en Chile en febrero 29 fue el mejor regalo de este verano espero que vuelvan porque ese día estaré en cancha, nunca dejes de tocar "Giving Up" en vivo, cuando vengas de nuevo a Chile me verás llorar cantando "Giving Up", por todo lo que he sobrevivido, Don't give up on yourself Chile!
Cried my eyes out to this song on shrooms when I saw them in June 2023. Wasn’t even a fan of the used til then now they’re one of my favorites

This is such an awesome video! This song means so much to me, I'm sure there's a lot of us who relate to it the same ways I do, and if your one of them I love you and your worth not giving up on!! 🥰 It's beautiful how The Used is still making music that hits me so hard 20 years and going, I'll forever love this band! 🖤
The Used, once again, don't disappoint.
This is fantastic guys!! Keep up the good work! Super stokedddd!@ 🤘
thank you used for being yourself

I haven't loved a The Used album as much as this since my scene days back in high school of 2008 - 2009 or so. Back then I connected so much with the lyrics and tunes with my struggles back then, and today now in graduate school this album evokes such similar feelings. Love ya Bert, Jeph, Dan, and Joey! Hope to see ya fuckers live soon!
This song saved my life, Thank You so much, Joey, Jepha, Dan and Bert ❤
Began my sobriety journey 2 weeks ago! This song made me cry as I added it to my ~sobriety jams~ playlist today. so beautiful 🤍

❤❤❤
Genuinely at the lowest point I've ever been. Its like nothing can make me feel as much as i used to feel. Music still pushes through all of that snd the used especially

Go Hard!!!! Yell more and get gritty!!! ❤
Your a legend!!!!!😮

They played this at the show in Baltimore a week ago, sounded great live!
sometimes they just go for it
❤ I swear the good feeling I get from this song. I love it.
Never giving up on me, and you should feel the same... used but never defeated!!

I've been in such a dark place recently. Even thoughts of self harm that I haven't had in over a decade. I decided to listen to The Used on Spotify and came across this album. Holy. Freaking. Shit. Exactly what I needed to hear at the exact time I needed to hear it. I saw The Used for the first time last October and it made my teenaged emo self so happy. And here I am in my mid 30s listening to their new stuff and it's helping me out of some severe postpartum depression, this song specifically. And its gonna give me the courage to really talk to my partner about how I've been feeling. Thank you to The Used for being here for me since the early 2000s. You helped me through the angsty teenage years and are still here for me now.

I like this song very much. Especially, the lyrics touch my heart. I never want to give up on me.

this is so different i love it
My friend gave up before he got a chance to listen to this amazing album, I wish he could’ve heard it because I know he would’ve loved it
I'm in a bad low spot in my life right now... seriously. I think this song could change my mood today.
Even if only for 1 day.
Smile (:
the art is unsettling, the song is amazing

not to trauma dump in UA-cam comments, but as someone who did give up a little over a year ago and wound up in a coma because of it. I really like listening to this song a lot, it reminds me to keep going, of what I'm fighting for every day.
keep it up buddy, you've been given a second chance, make the most out of it.
It's so good to have The Used back ❤❤
Late in the race of life but still IN the race, I'm not giving up either!!
the used forever they saved lives for sure.

First listened to them 19 years ago and they still mean so much to me. Their music has really helped me get through a lot! Happy to have just seen them in nyc.

Another favorite song
This song really just sounds like they took 50 modern hits and mixed it all together
Loveeeee ❤ goodluck
Thank for the song 💕💕
Yessa 🎉🎉❤❤
Wow best song
I needed this 🥺 Thank you!!
I can't express how much this song means to me. 2022 was a hard year for me, and I definitely gave up to an extent. But now it's 2023, the Used has released new music, and I am not giving up on meEe!!
Love, love, love. Thank you for this song, for this album, for all the music you've created since the beginning. This album couldn't have come out at a better time, when I needed something this powerful in my life.
형들 노래 잘뽑는구나... 너무좋아 진짜
I just saw them in Nashville, had I given up like I wanted I wouldn’t have been able to have that experience and it’s gonna keep me going 🖤 I hope they go on tour again for this album, to see Bert perform this album would be amazing. Thank you, The Used for being there for all of us.
Super melodic and awesome!! Good work guys! 🤩👍
I love this song so so much!!!
Anthem!
Only 1k views in 3 hours, which is so little 😩
This video is incredible. I love when The Used does videos like this, like Cathedral Bell and Blow Me and anything where it’s not a full on video production but just an awesome visual representation of the song and it’s meanings
Wow ❤❤❤ I love this song... 💞💞

So good.

It's so mesmerising 😲 like shedding skn/soul negativity that shines on a dark cold day and just dissipates 👥
This makes my 2008 emo heart very happy. But also gives my adult actually very depressed heart some positivity. I can’t stop listening to this.
The spaceman at the end is the one from Heartwork! Loooove it!!!
bert i started my life with teh used at 15 years old now im 32 its so fnatastic to fell some youn wild thnaks from Bolivia mucho love

Yes, fabulous art work
Love the song. Blew my mind to see it was The Used cause it's completely different than the older stuff but still so good. Song has a Blink 182 vibe to it.

Fantastic song, fantastic video!
