Giving Up Everything Natalie Merchant

[Verse 1]
Giving up everything
My hungry ghost of hopefulness

Giving up everything
Not haunted by wanting this

[Verse 2]
Giving up everything
The fortune I was saving

Giving up everything
I mercy-killed my craving

[Verse 3]
Giving up everything
I’ve opened up my eyes for this

Giving up everything
See the whole magnificent emptiness

Gave what I want for how it is
For the stone inside and the bitterness
For the sweetness at the core of it

[Instrumental]
