So many years spent running away
How many times I wished I could stay
Too much emotion, a hole in my heart
Feeling alone since we've been apart andIf I had the chance I'd never let you go
I just want you to knowDown, lay me down, lay me down
Lay down burden
Down, lay me down, lay me down
Lay down burdenSo many things I wanted to do
How many times spent thinking this through
So many nights spent here by the phone
Wonderin' if you felt just as alone andWhile some things have all been
Crazy from the start, it's tearing me apartDown, lay me down, lay me down
Lay down burden
Down, lay me down, lay me down
Lay down burdenJust remember the way I held you
You're always in my heartDown, lay me down, lay me down
Lay down burden
Down, lay me down, lay me down
Lay down burden
