Lay Me Down Lyrics

I remember your flesh and your skin

This complexion, attention

The taste of our sin

And all those sweet words

And I knew you better than you

I knew how to twist

How to break you in two

And all those sweet words



You're layin' me down like you do

Well I don't know nothin' but you

But I know you better now

God, I just wanna shout

I'm sorry I pulled you down

You're better than me

I know it's been awhile

But somehow you're on my mind

I swear I did everything

In honest belief

And all your sweet words

You let me down



I still have these visions of grace

You're dressed in your work clothes

And you're washin' your face

And you're talkin' to me



I quietly watch you undress

She knows what I want but the room is a mess

And so we're talkin' instead



You lay me down like you do

And I don't want nothin' but true

And I know you better now

Sometimes I wanna shout

I'm sorry I pulled you down

You're better than me

And I know it's been awhile

But somehow you're on my mind

I swear I did everything

In honest belief

And all your sweet words

You let me down

And all your sweet words

You let me down

(So I was standin' on the sun)

(So I was standin' on the sun)

In all your words

In all your words

In all your words

You let me down
