Lay Me Down

It's late now

You call me, playin' games

(Why won't you let me be?)

The same doubts

The same scene

No escape

We're runnin' in circles

I'm sick of your lies

But damn it, I'll see you tonight

Lay me down

Crawling right back to you

After you cursed my name

Won't you lay me down?

I left you black and blue

So why don't I feel shame?

Well, I thought it might be different

I leave it all behind

But you played so considerate

I let you back inside, so

Lay me down

Crawling right back to you

After, after

After you ain't the same

You break vows

Say you're sorry, ain't okay

(Why don't you up and leave?)

Then we play house

But the walls speak

What remains

I know what I'm missing

I can't even hide

Why won't I put up a fight?

Lay me down

Crawling right back to you

After you cursed my name

Won't you lay me down?

I left you black and blue

So why don't I feel shame?

Well, I thought it might be different

I leave it all behind

But you played so considerate

I let you back inside, so

Lay me down

Crawling right back to you

After, after

After you ain't the same

After you ain't the same

Hold me, baby

Won't you let me be?
