Sanctuary by Ten Second Epic Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I just want to give you shelter
It's safe to close your eyes
I'm not going to sugar coat it
This is a hard life

[verse 2]
And every time I see you
By accident or design
There's something beneath the surface
In between the lines

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I want you to talk to me
But I don't say it
You don't have to run

[Chorus]
Lay your defences down
You've been running like a refugee
Lay your defences down
And I'll be your sanctuary
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary

[Verse 3]
When you get tired of fighting
And you've had enough
When you're walking wounded
And it's too much

[Verse 4]
You can take off your armour
And you can lay down your shield
I just want to hold the world back
Give you time to heal

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I want you to talk to me
But I don't say it
You don't have to run
Away

[Chorus]
Lay your defences down
You've been running like a refugee
Lay your defences down
And I'll be your sanctuary
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary
Whoa, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary

[Bridge 1]
Close your eyes
It's a hard life

[Verse 5]
I could make you a promise
But time will make it clear
After the dust has settled
I'll still be right here

[Bridge 2]
You need to let me in

[Chorus]
So lay your defences down
You've been running like a refugee
Lay your defences down
And I'll be your sanctuary

[Outro]
Whoa, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary
Whoa, oh yeah
And I'll be your sanctuary
Whoa, oh yeah
I'll be your sanctuary
Whoa, oh yeah
