Lay My Body Down
All I'm looking forΙs a little bit more ropeΤo wrap around my throat
I'm in troubleI'm in trouble
And all I'm gasping forΙs one last breath of hopeΤo hear the hearts I brokeI'm in troubleI'm in trouble
When you lay my body downWhen you throw me in the groundDon't be sorry
When you lay my body downWhen I'm buried in the groundSave your prayersDon't shed a tearDon't shed a tear for meSave your prayersDon't shed a tearDon't shed a tear for me
Turn your heartTo the trail of souls behind meSave your prayersDon't shed a tearDon't shed a tear for me
And all those fearful eyesStay burnt up on my mindThat gift they left behindI'm all troublesI'm all troubles
Still they find the wordsRing louder than my thoughtsLay heavy as a curseI'm in troubleI'm in trouble
When you lay my body downWhen you throw me in the groundDon't be sorry
When you lay my body downWhen I'm buried in the groundSave your prayersDon't shed a tearDon't shed a tear for meSave your prayersDon't shed a tearDon't shed a tear for me
Turn your heartTo the trail of souls behind meSave your prayersDon't shed a tearDon't shed a tear for me
These are my confessionsI'm singing out my dying wordsThese are my confessionsMake peace before I hit the dirtThese are my confessionsHear all my sins laid down in verseThese are my confessionsOh these are my confessions
Save your prayersDon't shed a tearDon't shed a tear for meSave your prayersDon't shed a tearDon't shed a tear for me
Turn your heartTo the trail of souls behind meSave your prayersDon't shed a tearDon't shed a tear for me
