Natasha Bedingfield - Lay Down lyrics

Speechless but the answers in my mouth
Breathless the emotions seeping out
Beyond my control you spoke to my silence
Why so cold?

You asked for peace, I gave you war
While you let go, I hold too tightly
I take my aim, you hit the floor
I'm not ready to lay down my arms

Cracking my defenses breaking down
The unravelling of a rope I put around me
You won't take no for an answer

You asked for peace, I gave you war
While you let go, I hold too tightly
I take my aim, you hit the floor
I'm not ready to lay down my arms

I didn't know I was missing out
'til you lost and I, i won
You made me realize my incompleteness alone
Can no longer live by candlelight
When you show me the sun, oh

You asked for peace, I gave you war
While you let go, I hold too tightly
I take my aim, you hit the floor
I'm not ready to lay down my arms

Lay me down lay me down
Lay me down
(While you let go, I hold too tightly)
Lay me down
(I take my aim, you hit the floor)
Lay me down
(I'm not ready to lay down my arms)
