Give Up the Fight [Bonus Track] - Pop Version

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

And 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

We're strong and we won't always feel this kind of pain, everything's temporary
From here and in this light broken and beaten like a drum
We'll see clearer if we put down our 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
