lyrics

Darlin' how I know you've tried to tell me in a million ways
But you don't have to speak a word
Just listen to what I have to say

If we're gonna make this good and never act like we've arrived
I'll be glad to be the first to lay down every single ounce of pride

Gonna Stand down, gonna see it through your eyes
Gonna show you real love, gonna win by losing this fight
I'm gonna stand down

In a world that seems to have no price
for making love look so cheap
The walls are stacked up ten feet high
For lovers just like you and me

Here begins to turn the tide
I lay my grudges down to die
And that's when we come back to life

I'm not giving up, I'm not giving in
I'm just giving love like I should have been
Right from the start to the very end
I'm standing, I'm standing down
