Lyrics Ilse DeLange – 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 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

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
