Everybody owns a gun And everybody shoots someone The words we say are weapons Of a mass destruction But I don't want to join the war Or see you hurting anymore So apologetically I am offering my plea No, I won't give up on me and you And I won't let go over time If it takes me 'til my dying breath And that's all that's left For me to prove No, I won't give up on me and you Every time you look at me, I can see a mystery I thought that I could read your mind, But now that's history I know you've heard it all before I see you closing every door So I'm laying it on the line I ain't losing you this time No, I won't give up on me and you And I won't let go over time If it takes me 'til my dying breath And that's all that's left For me to prove No, I won't give up on me and you
