Water and Guns cover
08. Giving Up The Gun
Album: Water and Guns
Artist: Aaron Sprinkle
         
 

You shoulda tried a little harder

You coulda been a little stronger

And needed me more

With an ocean underneath me

Holding on to what tomorrow brings

But it’s always a storm

All this time keepin it in

Needed some kinda hope

But you couldn’t begin

To see this doubt welling up in my eyes

Getting harder to swallow this disguise



I’ve been losing a war I just can’t fight anymore

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

Givin up the gun

Givin up the gun

I’ll live to love another day



I hope that I can brush it off

When I get up again

Turn in and get some rest

I feel so old enough to know

What I could learn from this

What did I learn from this?

All this time keepin it in

Needed some kinda hope

But you couldn’t begin

To see this doubt welling up in my eyes

Getting harder to swallow this disguise



I’ve been losing a war I just can’t fight anymore

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

Givin up the gun

Givin up the gun

I’ll live to love another day



I will follow the sun

And find my way home

Gonna go it alone

And maybe this time I’ll find

Some peace of mind



I’ve been losing a war I just can’t fight anymore

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

Givin up the gun

Givin up the gun

I’ll live to love another day



I’ve been losing a war I just can’t fight anymore

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

Givin up the gun

Givin up the gun

I’ll live to love another day
