(I'll Give) Anything But Up!
Hilary Duff · Other Songs - Hilary Duff
People live in a kind of illusion
Somebody else is making things better
But somehow we gotta do it together
I am just a true believer
When it comes to giving
I'm an over achiever
As long as I live
There's more I can give
It's never enough
I'll give anything but up
As far as I go
There's one thing I know
It's never too tough
Oh no, I'll give anything but up
Some girls are not quite what they seem
A twisted lack of self-esteem
Mirrors are all they want to see
That's not the way that this should be
Sometimes the world is just so small
You can reach everybody
Just by give your all
As long as I live
There's more I can give
It's never enough
I'll give anything but up
As far as I go
There's one thing I know
It's never too tough
Oh no, I'll give anything but up
I'll give anything but up
I'll give my first breath
Last word
Every prayer I've ever heard
Once I start, I will not stop
Giving anything but up
Oh, oh
As long as I live
There's more I can give
It's never enough
I'll give anything but up
As far as I go
There's one thing I know
It's never tooo tough
Cause I'll give anything but
The days and the years
The time and the tears
The sound and the sight
Of laughter and light
The healing and hurt
The hours of work
The smooth and the rough
I'll give anything but up
I'll give anything but up
I'll give anything
I'll give anything but up
I'll give anything
I'll give anything but up
