You're so quiet
But it doesn't faze me
You're on time
You move so fast makes me feel lazy
Let's join forces
We've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burned
But every fire is a lesson learned

I left my house
Left my clothes
Door wide open, heaven knows
You're so worth it
You are

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Then maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you, I would
I would, I would, I would

Let's type words
'Cause they amount to nothing
Play it down
Pretend you can't take what you found
But you found me
On a screen you sit at permanently

I left my house
Left my clothes
Door wide open
Heaven knows
You're so worth it, you are

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
Then maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you, I would
I would, I would, I would

It's time to come clean,
And make sense of everything
It's time that we found out who we are
'Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
The maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you, I would
I would, I would, I would

I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you
I'd do it all for you

    Song Meaning:“I wrote Guns And Horses about a romance that began online… I wanted the guy to feel more than he did for me but through no fault of his own he couldn’t. It’s a song about frustration essentially.” -ellie goulding

    General Comment:I think this song is about one-way love. A guy loves her but she doesn't feel the same and she's sad that it hurts him. She wishes she can feel the same way about him to take away his pain but she's saying this is a lesson learned and he'll only walk away stronger.
    "I know you've been burned but every fire is a lesson learned."

    "You're so worth it- you are." She knows he's amazing but she just doesn't feel the same way.

    She's hoping that their friendship will go back to the way it was before.

    Lyric Correction:tbh; great song but whoever added these lyrics is shockingly rubbish
    a billion mistakes :'(
    here are just a few corrections:

    your so quiet
    but it doesn't faze me
    your on time
    you move so fast, makes me feel lazy

    let's join forces
    we've got our guns and horses
    i know you've been burned but every fire is a lesson learnt

    i left my house
    i left my clothes
    door wide open
    heaven knows
    your so worth it, you are

    but i wish i could feel all it for you
    i wish i could be it all for you
    if I could erase the pain
    maybe you'd feel the same
    i'd do it all for you
    i would

    let's type words
    'cause they amount to nothing
    play it down
    pretend you can't take what you've found
    but you found me
    on a screen you sit at permanently

    General Comment:I love this song! so sweet and catchy. :P
    But, I'm pretty sure that you used the wrong word in these lyrics:

    You're so quiet
    But it doesn't "phase" me

    I'm pretty sure "phase" is supposed to be "faze."

    a phase is like a cycle, and faze means to disconcert, worry, or bother.
    :P

    General Comment:It's 'the screen you sit at permanantly', 'heaven knows' not 'never knowing' and 'I know you've been burned, but every fire is a lesson learnt'. X

    General Comment:Amazing song, and as for the meaning, straight from the horse's mouth: "I wrote Guns And Horses about a romance that began online... I wanted the guy to feel more than he did for me but through no fault of his own he couldn't. It's a song about frustration essentially."
