Sanctuary Lyrics

I just wanna give you shelter
It's safe to close your eyes
I'm not gonna sugar coat it
This is a hard life
And every time I see you
By accident no design
There's something beneath the surface
In between the lines
I want you to talk to me
But I won't say it
You don't have to run

Raise your defenses down
You've been running like a refugee
Raise your defenses down
And I'll be your sanctuary

When you get tired of fighting
And you've had enough
When you're walking wounded
And it's too much
You can take off your armour
You can lay down your shield
I just wanna hold the world back
Give you time to heal
I want you to talk to me
But I won't say it
You don't have to run
Away

Raise your defenses down
You've been running like a refugee
Raise your defenses down
And I'll be your sanctuary
Close your eyes
It's a hard life

I can make you a promise
But time will make it clear
When all the dust is settled
I'll still be right here

Don't need to let me out

Raise your defenses down
You've been running like a refugee
Raise your defenses down
And I'll be your sanctuary
