No Armor Left

The kettle whistles in the quiet hall
My coat is hanging where you left it last
I built a fortress out of being right
And watched the hours turning into past
I thought that silence was a steady shield
A heavy wall to keep my pride intact
Now every shadow in this empty room
Is begging me to take the damage back

So lay the weapons down upon the floor
I have no armor left to keep me tall
It takes a broken heart to speak the truth
To let the trembling whisper start to fall
I was wrong, my love, I was so wrong
I let my temper drown the best of us
If forgiveness has a price today
I pay it all, without a single fuss

Your coffee cup is sitting on the shelf
A little colder than it was at noon
I kept my jaw locked tight against the air
Afraid that bending made me break too soon

So lay the weapons down upon the floor
I have no armor left to keep me tall
It takes a broken heart to speak the truth
To let the trembling whisper start to fall
I was wrong, my love, I was so wrong
I let my temper drown the best of us
If forgiveness has a price today
I pay it all, without a single fuss

It takes a fool to run away from grace
A coward keeps his hands so clean and dry
I am standing in the pouring rain
Looking you directly in the eye

So lay the weapons down upon the floor
I have no armor left to keep me tall
It takes a broken heart to speak the truth
To let the trembling whisper start to fall
I was wrong, my love, I was so wrong
I let my temper drown the best of us
If forgiveness has a price today
I pay it all, without a single fuss

I have no armor left
I pay it all today
I was wrong, my love
Don't turn away
