I used to keep my dark a secret

I used to keep my heart in pieces

He said he liked me better as a mess

He said he wants to save me from myself

I'm not, not gonna lie

I think, think I could die happy

Happy, happy in his eyes

Lay me down in the river

Love me like I'm a sinner

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

If I drown in the river

Will my soul be delivered?

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

Can't help I'm feeling like a reject

Sometimes I feel so damn derelict

You bathe me in the saltiest of tears

When I'm sad they show me how to face my fears.

I'm not, not gonna lie

I think, think I could die happy

Happy, happy in his eyes

Lay me down in the river

Love me like I'm a sinner

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

If I drown in the river

Will my soul be delivered?

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

Bury all my skeletons and let 'em stay dead

Exercise the demons making homes in my head

And wash away my dirt and wash away this hurt

And lay me down to rest

I'm not, not gonna lie

I think, think I could die happy

Happy, happy in his eyes

Lay me down in the river

Love me like I'm a sinner

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down

If I drown in the river

Will my soul be delivered?

Lay me down

Lay me down

Lay me down
