Lay It Down
Crossing Fire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your eyes they give you away
Immerse yourself in your own abuse
Every moment's filled with regret
You keep hurting yourself
Why do you push me away?
No one wants to love you
The maker of all sees you
And he wants you to run to him, yeah
Your eyes they tell no lies
Don't let your hurt destroy you
Don't give away your life
You're not alone tonight
Your eyes they tell no lies
Lay it down tonight
Like Novocaine for the mind
Burning deep down inside
It's enough just to get through the day
There's no saving me now
No one wants to love you
The maker of all sees you
And he wants you to run to him, yeah
Your eyes they tell no lies
Don't let your hurt destroy you
Don't give away your life
You're not alone tonight
Your eyes they tell no lies
Lay it down tonight
Oh, oh don't give up
Oh, oh don't give up
Oh, oh don't give up
Oh, oh don't give up
Oh, oh don't give up
Oh, oh don't give up
Oh, oh don't give up
Oh, oh don't give up
Your eyes they tell no lies
Don't let your hurt destroy you
Don't give away your life
You're not alone tonight
Your eyes they tell no lies
Don't let your hurt destroy you
Don't give away your life
You're not alone tonight
Your eyes they tell no lies
Lay it down tonight
