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 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
