Lay By Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The grass on the other side

Is whatever color you want to paint it

Try your best not to lie

You'll be forced to fake it

And I lie all the time

To your face only sometimes

And when you're away, I lose my mind

A replacement I can't find

And when you're here with me it's a reminder I'm alive

That's exactly what I need



[Verse 2]

Need some space around my heart for the whole you tried to open

And I understand your actions

But this is a crazy way of coping

And I've seen that face before

When I've ever loved there came a wall

It's a feeling I can't explain

When the floor absorbs the pain

And the warts around your eyes

With no make-up to disguise your face

Where there's a will there's a way



[Chorus]

While you were up all night

I'm here inside of a lay by

You can't control your mind

Why can't I lay by your side

Times were always tougher

In the middle of the night

Times were always harder

Until the day we see the light

Can we wake up in the morning

Start our journey once again

This is not the way it ends



[Verse 3]

There's a storm inside my head

I think of you when I hear the thunder

I'm stuck inside a cycle

I can't watch you fall for another

Maybe if I try

I could try to change your mind

If this is what you want

This is going to take me time

I'm letting go of something

I feel I had to repay



[Chorus]

While you were up all night

I'm here inside of a lay by

You can't control your mind

Why can't I lay by your side

Times were always tougher

In the middle of the night

Times were always harder

Until the day we see the light

Can we wake up in the morning

Start our journey once again

This is not the way it ends
