lay yourself down

darlin' don't you lay yourself down

we live in a fable

we live in a make-believe town

all cardboard and dust

it's not so important

darlin' there are tears in your eyes

you're weakened and wearied

you feel compromised

and 'though they long to carry

my arms can only surround

don't you lay yourself down

even if the battle is won

the war is not over

it's only begun

if there's one still standing

one still standing his ground

don't you lay yourself down

don't you lay yourself down

baby

be strong for me

please

even if the battle is won

the war is not over

it's only begun

if there's one still standing

one still standing his ground

don't you lay yourself down

don't you lay yourself down

don't you lay yourself down
