Give Up the Fight

When I first saw you, I knew Your poker straight face, I sharpened my blades Think no one understands you And when the lights fade Fits of pure rage You keep me at bay in the way you say We will keep in touch thank you very much She will take your name she'll take everything But I see you, you see I've been put through the ringer, almost died, got a grip and came out the other side And I know it's easier to hide, forgetting the fears that shape your mind I've seen the ruins, misty-eyed, met my demons and lived where they reside Though you think you're doing what is right You'll see clearer if you put down your guns and give up the fight I'm always loving harder, it's never enough, I guess its my drug You've crafted perfect armor, let it come undone, don't let yourself run Say it to my face don't say you need space You'll still get away some things never change I'd give anything I'd give anything for one more day to watch you leave I've been put through the ringer, almost died, got a grip and came out the other side And I know it's easier to hide, forgetting the fears that shape your mind I've seen the ruins, misty-eyed, met my demons and lived where they reside Though you think you're doing what is right You'll see clearer if you put down your guns and give up the fight I've been put through the ringer, almost died, got a grip and came out the other side And I know it's easier to hide, forgetting the fears that shape your mind I've seen the ruins, misty-eyed, met my demons and lived where they reside Though you think you're doing what is right You'll see clearer if you put down your guns and give up the fight
