I Know A Place (Acoustic)

[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] 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 [Verse 2] And right now It's like you're carrying all the weight of your past I can see all the bruises, yellow, dark blue and black But, baby, a bruise is only your body Tryin' to keep you intact 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] 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 [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 Even if our skin or our Gods look different I believe all human life is significant I throw my arms open wide in resistance He's not my leader even if he's my president [Chorus] No (Ooh) Let's build 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
