i m not a fighter anymore gun is empty but forgiveness takes a while so many things i have adored like the sweetness the completeness of her smile i ve gotta move on hard to believe it but i ll tell you the truth lay down your weapon let s just call it a truce white flags a waving in the distance is true nobody wins so let s just call it a truce i ve been a fighter to the core so forgive me there s no need please don t remind over the years tried to ignore all the simple simple things i ve left behind i ve gotta move on tell me how it feels when you can t go to sleep at night want to rest my head so instead i m not gonna fight i m not gonna fight
