Pretty words can mean a lot
They're everything, but when they're not
Sometimes, you need just a little bit more more more more more, yeah
They're creepin' in, the fears and doubts
You need a sin to go without
When your highest me just hit the floor
That's when I need to come home
If you're about to take the fall
I want you to wait a moment
If you're about to blame yourself
I can't even give you help
Whatever it is you think you did
You don't know the half of it
Lay it on me, lay it on me
It's never easy when your head is wrong
But it doesn't mean you play along
It only leaves if we say so so so so so, yeah
There's not a place you'll ever find
Happiness, it's a state of mind
You never see it if you're lookin' low, whoa
Lean on me, I'll walk you home
If you're about to lose your mind
Maybe just before you cry
I know I can make you smile
I can keep your makeup dry
Before you curse the stars above
Come over here, I'll give you love
Lay it on me, lay it on me
If you're about to take the fall
I want you to wait a moment
If you're about to blame yourself
I can't even give you help
Whatever it is you think you did
You don't know the half of it
Lay it on me, lay it on me
Every lover needs a friend
Every friend needs a lover
Every lover needs a friend
Every friend needs a lover
So whichever one it is
Oh, you know I got you covered
Yeah yeah yeah
If you're about to take the fall
I want you to wait a moment
If you're about to blame yourself
I can't even give you help
Whatever it is you think you did
Well, you don't know the half of it
Lay it on me, lay it on me
If you're about to lose your mind
Maybe just before you cry
I know I can make you smile, baby
I can keep your makeup dry
Before you curse the stars above
Come over here, I'll give you love
Lay it on me, lay it on me
Lay it on me, lay it on me
