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
