You shout cease fire

But the booms and bangs keep drowning out your cries

And the world comes crashing down before your eyes

And before mine

I cannot tell what's right

I beg calm down

But it's more to you to stay and

Stand your ground

Don't you see we're losing more than what we found

Through this fire and dust

We'll never come around

I'd lay down my gun

If I weren't the only one

And I'd give up this fight

If it meant we'd sleep tonight

I'd go gladly through the flames

If it meant you'd speak my name

With love in your voice

You want no more

Because to win's no longer worth the damage done

And if you could I know you take it back and run

And you can't be blamed

Cuz if I could I'd do the same

I'd lay down my gun

If I weren't the only one

And I'd give up this fight

If it meant we'd sleep tonight

I'd go gladly through the flames

If it meant you'd speak my name

With love in your voice
