(Laying down my armour, laying down my gun) You’re lost in my game but your love is repeating Always around, you’re never holding me down I know who you are, true colours are showing Though my heart’s bare, always show you care Putting up my walls so I last better Don’t know why I do it because we’re together Always holding back from you It’s on my mind Tonight I’m gonna try for you real harder Show you all the love I’ve held inside Show you all the love I’ve held inside Let’s do it right Tonight I’m gonna show you, show you what you’ve done I’m laying down my armour, laying down my gun Tonight I’m gonna hold you closer than before So you know where I am, so you know where I am I’ve known it’s not right, just couldn’t reveal it Always closing up tight and never releasing Afraid and I fear to love, but you never let me go I’ve held it in my heart and now i’m letting you go Tonight I’m gonna show you, show you what you’ve done I’m laying down my armour, laying down my gun Tonight I’m gonna hold you closer than before So you know where I am, so you know where I am Putting up my walls so I’ll last better I don’t know why I do it because we’re together Tonight I’m gonna try for you real harder Show you all the love i’ve held inside Show you all the love i’ve held inside Let’s do it right Tonight I’m gonna show you, show you what you’ve done I’m laying down my armour, laying down my gun Tonight I’m gonna hold you closer than before So you know where I am, so you know where I am So you know where I am (so you know where I am, so you know where I am) So you know where I am (so you know where I am) Oh, so you know where I am
