River

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
