[Verse 1] I knew When you told me you don't wanna go home tonight And you tried to just shrug it off when I asked you 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 the scars and they occasionally bleed Cause somebody hurt me Somebody hurt me But I'm staying alive [Pre-Chorus] And I can tell When you get nervous 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 [Chorus 1] I know a place (ooh) I know a place we can go (yeah) Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Just give me trust and watch what'll happen Cause I know (ooh) I know a place we can run (yeah) Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Don't you be afraid of love and affection Just lay down your weapon [Verse 2] Right now It's like you're carrying all the weight of your past I can feel the bruises, yellow, dark blue, and black But baby they're 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 our purpose is to never give up when we're on the right track [Pre-Chorus] And I can tell When you get nervous 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 [Chorus 1] I know a place (ooh) I know a place we can go (yeah) Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Just give me trust and watch what'll happen Cause I know (ooh) I know a place we can run (yeah) Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Don't you be afraid of love and affection Just lay down your weapon (Lay down your weapon) [Bridge] 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 Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Just give me trust and anything can happen [Chorus 2] Cause I know (ooh) I know a place we can go (yeah) Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Just give me trust and watch what'll happen Cause I know (ooh) I know a place we can stay (yeah) Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon Lay down their weapon Don't you be afraid of love and affection Just lay down your weapon
