My father once told me
The heart is an arrow
It needs aim to land true
Kaz Brekker, I don't really
Think that I knew what that
Meant until I met you
So tell me your secrets, your weakness
Your nightmares, your reasons
And show me the truth
(I want you to stay)
Lay down your guards
Lower your walls
(Stay with me)
'Cause I will have you
Without your armor
Or I will not have you at all
I don't know if I can be
The man that you need me to be
But I know I'm not what you deserve
(How can I stay)
My scars are permanent, can't be unwritten
But yours are now healing, so go
But I want you (I want you)
I want you to
I want you (I want you)
(I want you to stay)
Lay down your guards
Lower your walls
(Stay with me)
'Cause I will have you
Without your armor
Or I will not have you at all
And how will you have me
With gloves on and distant
Our heads turned so our lips never meet
After all the fighting
And after nearly dying
I deserve more than just
Pieces of you I can't hold
You and me both deserve more
(Stay, stay)
(Stay, stay, stay)
They say that you don't need your reasons
But give me one now
Give me one little reason to stay
So lay down your guards
Lower your walls
'Cause I will have you
Without your armor
Or I will not have you at all
I have unfinished business
And unfulfilled promises
All's well never ends well with me
I may not believe in the saints that you pray to
But may they watch over you still
