Lay Down The Sword

Verse

We’ve been walking this road for years,

Carrying laughter, drowning in tears.

Built a house out of broken stone,

But sometimes even love feels alone.

You reach for me, I turn away,

One careless word can poison the day.

I want to trust, but I can’t let go,

Afraid of the arms I used to know.

Pre-chorus

You fight to be strong, I fight to survive…

But gentleness is where love comes alive.

Chorus

What’s the point of a small victory,

If our ship goes down in a bitter sea?

To win this war, one must lose,

Lay down the sword, let love choose.

So much gone, but so much remains—

Do we let it slip through our hands like rain?

Verse

We try to fix a lifetime in one breath,

But the pile grows higher with every step.

Some days we shine, some days we break,

One broken word is all it takes.

You see a frightened cat in my eyes,

Claws out before I realize.

But peace won’t bloom in a battle won—

It grows in the arms of a gentle one.

Pre-chorus

If I could fall without the fear,

Would you catch me, keep me near?

Chorus

What’s the point of a small victory,

If our ship goes down in a bitter sea?

To win this war, one must lose,

Lay down the sword, let love choose.

So much gone, but so much remains—

Do we let it slip through our hands like rain?

Bridge

We’ve missed too much, lost too many days…

But time still whispers, it can change its ways.

Can we surrender, not to defeat—

But to the place where broken hearts meet?

Chorus

What’s the point of a small victory,

If our ship goes down in a bitter sea?

To win this war, one must lose,

Lay down the sword, let love choose.

So much gone, but still we stand—

Do we let it slip through our hands?

Outro

Gentleness is stronger than pride…

Peace is the battle we choose inside.

If we’re to win, we must first let go…

And trust in the love we used to know.
