Took a Life Lyrics

What do you know of my heart

Of all its struggle with my head

I took a life to save my own

Now there's a devil in my bed

What do you know of this war

Of all the hope that's run dry

I took a life to save my own

And left my soul to slowly die

Lay down your gun

Before you lose your ground

Lay down your gun

Before it takes you down

Your heart will break

Painful and slow

Go on now go

Don't look at me and nod your head

Like you see what I see

Because your eyes were like mine

Before the demons were set free

Lay down your gun

Before you lose your ground

Lay down your gun

Oh leave this place

Before you lose your ground

Before it takes you down

Your heart will break

Painful and slow

Go on now go

Go on now go

Go on now go

The only way to understand

All this blood on my hands

Is to take my place

Bite down hard

Don't be scared oh oh

And don't you run

Lay down your gun

Before you lose your ground

Lay down your gun

Oh leave this place

Before you lose your ground

Before it takes you down

Your heart will break

Oh painful and slow

Go on now go, go on now go

Go on now go, go on now go

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Lay down your gun

Go on now go
