It was never my intention
To leave you to the vultures
When we were sitting on the sidewalk
Watching all the cars go by
I remember how we used to drive around
With nowhere to go
So I kept praying
I wouldn't crash my father's car
I'll admit it hurt when you cut me off
Now my friends tell me I'm better off
You saw black, I saw white
You were deaf, baby I was blind
Can't we lay our weapons down?
I can't take another round
Don't you think it's time to put this back on the shelf?
We belong in a book that wrote itself
Can't we lay our weapons down?
It was never my intention
To hurt you with my words
When I try to say I'm sorry
It ricochets right back at me
For too long we've ignored the cracks
From all the times when we tried to fix
The broken mirror
It's getting clearer
We always knew
Can't we lay our weapons down?
I can't take another round
Don't you think it's time to put this back on the shelf?
We belong in a book that wrote itself
Can't we lay our weapons down?
Laughing at your broken arm when we first met
Do you remember that?
You were Montague and I was Capulet
We didn't know it yet
I never noticed just how loud the music played
Until it was too late
The stars you drew on my white shoes
Are slowly starting to fade
Can't we lay our weapons down?
Can't we lay our weapons down?
I can't take another round
Don't you think it's time to put this back on the shelf?
We belong in a book that wrote itself
Can't we lay our weapons down?
