You used to write your songs for me
I used to love each melody
And you'd sing, and you'd play
And you'd sing, sing my life away
You gotta lay the music down
Lay it down for me
Why won't you let me be
Your lover
You had a broken down guitar
And then you turned into a star
Now you sing, and you play
You just sing, sing my life away
You gotta lay the music down
Lay it down for me
Why won't you let me be
Your lover
I feel that I just don't belong
I won't come second to your songs
I'm gonna sing, I'm gonna play
I'm gonna sing, sing this love away
I'm gonna lay your music down
I'm gonna lay your music down
I'm gonna lay the music down
I'm gonna lay the music down
I'm gonna lay the music down
I'm gonna lay the music down
