Lay It Down Songtext
von Kim Richey

Have another drink, yeah
Maybe dull the pain
Take another hit
But that don′t ever stop the rain
Smile away the hours
You're never really there
You′re safe behind the knowledge
They don't know how much you care

Yeah, but don't that stuff get awful heavy?
You know it occurs to me
You′re going to break your heart
If you don′t leave it be
Lay it down
Lay it all the way down


Leave the words unspoken
Bite your tongue instead
Ah, but keep the fire smoking
Keep it humming in your head
Hold another grudge
Oh, tight against your chest
Yeah, note another slight
So you can add it to the rest

Yeah, but don't that stuff get awful heavy?
You know it occurs to me
You′re going to break your heart
If you don't leave it be
Lay it down

The truth leaks out a little
Every time you tell another desperate joke

Yeah, but don′t that stuff get awful heavy?
You know it occurs to me
You're going to break your heart
If you don′t leave it be
Lay it down
Lay it all the way down
