Lay My Body Down

All I'm looking for is a little bit more rope

To wrap around my throat

I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble

And all I'm gasping for is one last breath of hope

To heal the hearts I broke

I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble

When you lay my body down

When you throw me in the ground

Don't be sorry when you lay my body down

When you throw me in the ground

Save your prayers and don't shed a tear

Don't shed a tear for me

Save your prayers, don't shed a tear

Don't shed a tear for me

Turn your heart to the trail of souls behind me

Save your prayers, don't shed a tear

Don't shed a tear for me

All those fearful eyes

Stay burned up on my mind

The gift they left behind

Are my troubles, are my troubles

Still, they find the words

Ring louder than my thoughts

Lay heavy as a curse

I'm in trouble, I'm in trouble

When you lay my body down

When you throw me in the ground

Don't be sorry when you lay my body down

When I'm buried in the ground

Save your prayers, don't shed a tear

Don't shed a tear for me

Save your prayers, don't shed a tear

Don't shed a tear for me

Turn your heart to the trail of souls behind me

Save your prayers, don't shed a tear

Don't shed a tear for me

(These are my confessions)

I'm singing out my dying words

(These are my confessions)

Make peace before I hit the dirt

(These are my confessions)

Hear all my sins laid down in verse

(These are my confessions)

Oh, these are my confessions

Save your prayers, don't shed a tear

Don't shed a tear for me

Save your prayers, don't shed a tear

Don't shed a tear for me

Turn your heart to the trail of souls behind me

Save your prayers, don't shed a tear

Don't shed a tear for me
