lyrics

I'm trying to hold my heart at bay
I'm trying to stall all, all the things you'll say
I'll choose the future I want to
I'll choose the one that is alongside you

I'm trying to hold my heart at bay
I'm trying to stall all, all the things you'll say
You think you know where I belong
I'm taking up my guns now I'm gonna come along
I'm taking up my guns now I'm gonna come along
I'm taking up my guns now I'm gonna come along.

It started with a serious conversation
That led to a heartfelt revelation
You're not one laws can bind

I thought I would appreciate your sincerity
I thought I could handle your cold hard clarity
I'll not be left behind

I'm not asking you to choose
I'm not even sure that I wouldn't lose
I'd rather fail my integrity than not be by your side

I'm trying to hold my heart at bay
I'm trying to stall all, all the things you'll say
I'll choose the future I want to
I'll choose the one that is alongside you

I'm trying to hold my heart at bay
I'm trying to stall all, all the things you'll say
You think you know where I belong
I'm taking up my guns now I'm gonna come along
I'm taking up my guns now I'm gonna come along
I'm taking up my guns now I'm gonna come along.

I've never been one known for much snobbery
So you'd you think I can't handle this robbery?
I'm not some lady flower

I'll not be stuck confined to your past
Whatever this is, whatever we'll last
I'll not stay home and cower

Please try and understand
I'd rather have you than money in hand
But you are who you are and compromise I can

I'm trying to hold my heart at bay
I'm trying to stall all, all the things you'll say
I'll choose the future I want to
I'll choose the one that is alongside you

I'm trying to hold my heart at bay
I'm trying to stall all, all the things you'll say
You think you know where I belong
I'm taking up my guns now I'm gonna come along
I'm taking up my guns now I'm gonna come along
I'm taking up my guns now I'm gonna come along.
