Do you know what's worth fighting for When it's not worth dying for? Does it take your breath away And you feel yourself suffocating? Does the pain weigh out the pride? And you look for a place to hide Did someone break your heart inside? You're in ruins
One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I
When you're at the end of the road And you lost all sense of control And your thoughts have taken their toll When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul Your faith walks on broken glass And the hangover doesn't pass Nothing's ever built to last You're in ruins
One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I
Did you try to live on your own When you burned down the house and home? Did you stand too close to the fire Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?
When it's time to live and let die And you can't get another try Something inside this heart has died You're in ruins
One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky You and I
Step one, you say, "We need to talk" He walks, you say, "Sit down, it's just a talk" He smiles politely back at you You stare politely right on through Some sort of window to your right As he goes left and you stay right Between the lines of fear and blame You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best 'Cause after all, you do know best You try to slip past his defense Without granting innocence Lay down a list of what is wrong The things you've told him all along Pray to God he hears you And pray to God he hears you
And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
As he begins to raise his voice You lower yours and grant him one last choice Drive until you lose the road Or break with the ones you've followed He will do one of two things He will admit to everything Or he'll say he's just not the same And you'll begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life
Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend (where did I go wrong?) Somewhere along in the bitterness And I would have stayed up with you all night (and I would have stayed up) Had I known how to save a life How to save a life How to save a life
