I knew when you told me you don't want to go home tonight And you tried to just shrug it off when I asked why Somebody hurt you, somebody hurt you But you're here by my side And I knew, cause I can recall when I was the one in your seat I still got scars and they occasionally bleed Cause somebody hurt me, somebody hurt me But I'm staying alive And I can tell when you get nervous That you think being yourself means being unworthy And it's hard to love with a heart that's hurting But if you want to go out dancing I know a place, I know a place we can go For everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Just give me trust and watch what happens Cause I know, I know a place we can run For everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Don't you be afraid of love and affection Just lay down your weapon Right now, it's like you're carrying all the weight of your past I can feel your bruises, yellow, dark blue and black But baby the bruises, only your body Trying to keep you intact So right now, I think we should go get drunk on cheap wine I think we should hop on the purple line Cause maybe your purpose is to never give up When we're on the right track And I can tell when you get nervous That you think being yourself means being unworthy And it's hard to love with a heart that's hurting But if you want to go out dancing I know a place, I know a place we can go For everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Just give me trust and watch what happens Cause I know, I know a place we can run For everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Don't you be afraid of love and affection Just lay down your weapon They will try to make you unhappy Don't let them They will try to tell you you're not free Don't listen I, I know a place where you don't need protection Even if it's only in my imagination I, I know a place we can go For everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Just give me trust and anything can happen Cause I know, I know a place we can go For everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Just give me trust and watch what happens Cause I know, I know a place we can stay For everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Don't you be afraid of love and affection Just lay down your weapon
