So many years Spent runnin' away How many times I wished I could stay Too much emotion A hole in my heart Feelin' alone since we've been apart and If I had the chance, I'd never let you go Just want you to know Down, lay me down, lay me down Lay down burden Down, lay me down, lay me down Lay down burden How many things I wanted to do How many times spent thinkin' this through So many nights spent here by the phone Wond'rin' if you felt just as alone While some things have all been Crazy from the start It's tearin' me apart Down, lay me down, lay me down Lay down burden Down, lay me down, lay me down Lay down burden Just remember the way I held you It's always in my heart Down, lay me down, lay me down Lay down burden Down, lay me down, lay me down Lay down burden Down, lay me down, lay me down Lay down burden
