Weapons Down (Uit Liefde voor Muziek)
[Verse 1]
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 we'd be unbreakable
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 being defeated by circumstance
Do we stand a chance...
[Pre-Chorus]
To rise above it all?
But I feel so small
[Chorus]
Lay your weapons down
And I'll take my armour 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
[Verse 2]
I feel so uncomfortable in this silence
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?
I can't stay right here
[Pre-Chorus]
So rise above it all
But I feel so small
[Chorus]
Lay your weapons down
And I'll take my armour 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
Lay your weapons down
[Bridge]
Rise above it all
It all, it all
What we have is real
And real can hurt sometimes
But just because it hurts
Doesn't mean that we say goodbye
[Outro]
Lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
Lay your weapons down
