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
