[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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
