[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
