Ben Gibbard - Hold No Guns lyrics

[Verse 1] Darling, don't you understand That there are no winners Or medals hung from silken strands To greet you at the finish As we're dissolving into the sea I can only take what I can carry As the counsel's combing through our debris For the treasures we never buried [Chorus] My love why do you run? For my hands hold no guns [Verse 2] Darling, though you may pretend Pretend that you are selfless You break with but the slightest bend And it leaves you lost and helpless So to whom will you place the call In the coldest night of winter? Cause numbers change and people fall And friends they always splinter [Chorus] My love why do you run? For my hands hold no guns My love why do you run? For my hands hold no guns They hold no guns No, not a one
