Intro: verse 1: You could have tried a little harder, You could have been a little stronger; Needed me more With an ocean underneath me Holding on to what tomorrow brings But it's always a storm Pre-Chorus All this time, keepin' it in Needed some kind of hope, but you couldn't begin To see this doubt wellin' up in my eyes Getting harder to swallow this disguise I've been losing a war I just can't fight anymore I'm givin' up the gun, givin' up the gun I'll live to love another day Maybe someday you'll see You made a martyr of me I'm givin' up the gun, givin' up the gun I'll live to love another day Instrumental:
