Lay Your Weapons Down

There's been a lot of miscommunication lately

A lot of wait and see and too many maybes

And I wanna believe that your faith in me

Is as strong as it was when when we thought it'd be unbreakable

All the words we say end up distorted

From skin break to heartache without warnin'

And you don't mean it, and I don't either

We get so close to bein' defeated by circumstance

Do we stand a chance?

To rise above it all

But I feel so small

Lay your weapons down

And I'll take my armor off

Say what we need to say

And love before it's lost

'Cause what we have is real

And real can hurt sometimes

But just because it hurts

Doesn't mean that we say goodbye

So lay your weapons down

Ooh

Lay your weapons down

Ooh

Feel so uncomfortable in this silence

Behind these invisible walls we build inside us

So what's gonna give and what will it take

For us to admit that we're both gonna break if we stay right here?

Don't wanna stay right here

Lay your weapons down

And I'll take my armor off

Say what we need to say

And love before it's lost

'Cause what we have is real

And real can hurt sometimes

But just because it hurts

Doesn't mean that we say goodbye

So lay your weapons down

Ooh

Lay your weapons down

Ooh

I wanna rise above it all

Will you hold me?

Just hold me?

And lay your weapons down

And I'll take my armor off

Say what we need to say

And love before it's lost

'Cause what we have is real

And real can hurt sometimes

But just because it hurts

Doesn't mean that we say goodbye

So lay your weapons down

Ooh

Lay your weapons down

Ooh

Lay your weapons down

Ooh

You lay your weapons down

Ooh
