Lyrics
Lay It Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Have another drink yeah maybe dull the pain
Take another hit but that don't ever stop the rain
Smile away the hours you're never really there
You're safe behind the knowledge they don't know how much you care
But don't that stuff get awful heavy you know it occurs to me
You're gonna break your heart if you don't leave it be
Lay it down lay it all the way down
Leave the words unspoken bite your tongue instead
Ah but keep the fire smoking keep it humming in your head
Hold another grudge oh tight against your chest
Yeah note another slight so you can add it to the rest
Don't that stuff get awful heavy...
The truth leaks out a little every time
You tell another desperate joke
[ guitar ]
Yeah don't that stuff get awful heavy...
