What are my options legally to get car title in my name if I still owe the lienholder?

My grandfather bought the car and I agreed to make payments to him. I am unable to continue making payments and he’s a lienholder on the title with it in my name. If I return the car to him does he have any liability to return the money I’ve paid in payments since he won’t release the lien until I’ve paid the balance in full?
