Lay Your Burden Down Songtext
von John Davis

Just as you were leaving
I was in my own world
Keeping busy breathing
Then I had it all wrong

You went away without telling anyone
What′s to be gained in never loving anyone?
Just to cheat the pain of losing someone
Don't you know some hard rain is bound to come?
There′s gonna be some dark days you'll never outrun


Brother, won't you lay your burden down?
Don′t you wanna find some way?
You won′t have to drag it around no more
When you lie awake, when you break right down
Don't you wanna find some way?
You won′t have to drag it around no more
Don't have to be afraid of the knock at your door

I have seen you dreaming
Frame by frame in slow-mo
Whimpering and screaming
I could not let you go, no

You went away without telling anyone
What′s to be gained in never loving anyone?
Just to cheat the pain of losing someone
Don't you know some hard rain is bound to come?
There′s gonna be some dark days you'll never outrun


Brother, won't you lay your burden down?
Don′t you wanna find some way?
You won′t have to drag it around no more
When you lie awake, when you break right down
Don't you wanna find some way?
You won′t have to drag it around no more
Don't have to be afraid of the knock at your door
