Giving up the Gun - Aaron Sprinkle

You could have tried a little harder

You could have been a little stronger;

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 kind of hope

But you couldn’t begin

To see this doubt wellin' up in my eyes

Getting harder to swallow this disguise

I’ve been losing a war

I just can’t fight anymore

I’m 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

I’m 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 should learn from this

What did I learn from this?

I will follow the Son

And find my way home

I’m gonna go it alone

And maybe this time I’ll find

Some peace of mind
