LYRICS:
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 way 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,
And give up the fight.
One, 21 guns,
Through up your arms,
Into the sky,
You and I

When you're at the end of the road,
And you've lost all sense of control,
When 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 meant to last,
You're in ruins.

One, 21 guns,
Lay down your arms,
And give up the fight.
One, 21 guns,
Through up your arms,
Into the sky,
You and I.

Did you try to live on your own,
When you burnt down your 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,
And give up the fight.
One, 21 guns,
Through up your arms,
Into the sky.
One, 21 guns,
Lay down your arms,
And give up the fight.
One, 21 guns,
Through up your arms,
Into the sky,
You and I.
