Lay me Down
Ben Hazlewood Lyrics

Holding out for everything that I’ve missed
Anticipating and longing for all the things I’ve lacked

The pull is strong, surrendering into it
Feeling a strong force that urges me to give in and succumb to it

Reaching out and aiming true
Extending myself towards a goal and focusing with precision

To be with you is my only desire
My ultimate wish and aspiration is to be with you

You’re everything I miss
You are the embodiment of all that I long for and miss

Feeling hollow again
Experiencing a sense of emptiness once more

Too weak to pretend
Not having enough strength to act or fake emotions

But I know I’m still breathing
Acknowledging the fact that I’m alive and still breathing

As I brace for the fall
Prepping myself for an impending failure or disappointment

To face anymore
Being unable to handle any more of a situation or feeling

I still need you to break in
I still require your intervention and influence to change things for the better

I need a night, need a night of whispers
I require a night full of soft, low-spoken words and sounds

Come lay me down
Come and put me to sleep, make me feel comforted and secure

For the peace I’m missing
In search of the tranquility that I’ve lost

Can you save me
Are you able to rescue me from distress and danger

From tonight, from a night of distance
From this night, that seems distant and far away

You shine a light through every inch of me
You're able to illuminate and brighten up every part of me

Cause in the dark the fear is my symphony
Because fear takes center stage, becomes my dominant emotion in darkness

I’ll never leave you again
I vow to never abandon you again

I’m living again
I’m gaining back my will and desire to live fully and enjoy life

Through chaos and calm
Amidst tumultuous times and peaceful moments

When I come undone
When I feel like I'm falling apart and losing control

You lay in my heart
You fill up and occupy a special place in my heart
