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
