One of Us

Some of us are grief befallen

Some are made to choose

Some are hope incarnate

Some only sing the blues

This may be hard to swallow

This may be hard to do

This may be hard to swallow

But one of us may lose

Some of us will make it

Some will bear the bruise

Oh, how this body's breaking

To think I'm losing you

This may be hard to swallow

This may be hard for us to do

This may be hard to swallow

But one of us will lose

I'm gonna lay you down my gun

And take the bullet

'Cause it's me that wants

To run when the night comes around

And my heart needs a flame to fill it

I'm gonna learn to love again

I'm gonna learn to love again

And the sun will come up again

And we'll see our bruises

No one will ever win

When push comes to shove

On this battlefield of love

This may be hard to swallow

This may be hard for me and you

This may be hard to swallow

But one of us will lose
