21 Guns (Broadway) Lyrics
[WHATSERNAME]
Do you know what's worth fighting for?
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins
[EXTRAORDINARY GIRL]
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
[HEATHER and EXTRAORDINARY GIRL]
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
[EXTRAORDINARY GIRL]
You and I
[TUNNY]
When you're at the end of the road
And you've lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Do you know what's worth fighting for?
When it's not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You're in ruins
[EXTRAORDINARY GIRL]
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
[HEATHER and EXTRAORDINARY GIRL]
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
[EXTRAORDINARY GIRL]
You and I
[TUNNY]
When you're at the end of the road
And you've lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
[JOHNNY]
Your faith walks on broken glass
[WILL]
And the hangover doesn't pass
[WILL and JOHNNY]
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
[WHATSHERNAME]
You're in ruins (You're in ruins)
[ALL]
One (One), 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One (One), 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
[WHATSHERNAME]
(Did you) Did you try to live on your own
(When you) When you burned down the house and home?
(Did you) Did you stand too close to the fire
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?
Your faith walks on broken glass
[WILL]
And the hangover doesn't pass
[WILL and JOHNNY]
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
[WHATSHERNAME]
You're in ruins (You're in ruins)
[ALL]
One (One), 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One (One), 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
[WHATSHERNAME]
(Did you) Did you try to live on your own
(When you) When you burned down the house and home?
(Did you) Did you stand too close to the fire
Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?
[EXTRAORDINARY GIRL]
When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins
[ALL]
You're in ruins
[ALL]
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
[HEATHER]
Nobody likes you, everyone left you
They're all out without you having fun
When it's time to live and let die
And you can't get another try
Something inside this heart has died
You're in ruins
[ALL]
You're in ruins
[ALL]
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
One, 21 guns
Lay down your arms, give up the fight
One, 21 guns
Throw up your arms into the sky
You and I
[HEATHER]
Nobody likes you, everyone left you
They're all out without you having fun
