[Verse 1]
You give a boy a gun
You hope he won't be long
You tell him to take aim... be strong
You gave it all
You give a boy a gun
That's how the story ends
Atrocities aside... it's nice
We won the war

[Chorus]
Let me take a look at you
Just one last time
Don't ask me to let go, not now
I'm not alright

[Verse 2]
You teach the kids to draw
Yet still the page is blank
You gave up and you stayed behind
You gave it all
You give a boy a gun
And leave the door unlocked
You gave up on yourself, but tonight
We won the war
[Chorus]
Let me take a look at you
Just one last time
Don't ask me to let go, not now
I'm not alright

[Chorus]
Let me take a look at you
Just one last time
Don't ask me to let go, not now
I'm not alright
