lyrics

You don't need to build defenses

All your walls and barricades

I know you ain't taking chances

Put all your sticks and stones away

Tear down all your barb wire fences

Take off your bulletproof vest

Put the dirt back in your trenches

If you want my surrender I'll accept



CH: It seems to me like everytime somebody gets too close

Alarm bells ring inside and wake your bad ghosts

And you go into heart survival mode and get ready to run

But I don't want to hurt you none and my love ain't a gun.



M8: And yes it's true

Love can hurt, wound and kill you

And I understand

Love can be a weapon in the wrong hands

It can send you straight to hell or Kingdom Come

But this is one of those times you gotta trust someone

Cos my love ain't a gun



I know it’s all just self-protection

When you say you need your space

Nobody wants to feel rejection

But you don’t have to lock and bolt your gates

No-one is setting out to hurt you

Sometimes that’s just the way it goes

Cos when somebody wants to love you

If you don’t let them try you’ll never know
