Lay It Down
Some days I think that no-one cares
About who I am and what I feel
I've been checking all the mirrors
Pinch myself I guess I'm real
Been wondering why it's always me
Last to speak and last in line
When someone takes one for the team
I'm that someone every time
If I told you all the thoughts that I don't speak
Would it stop you as you walk all over me
I'm tired of tryin' to breathe with all these people on my chest
I'm tryin' to find the peace and keep things equal but I'm worth less
And I don't wanna fight for some lost cause
I don't wanna cross the lines they cross
I've been flying this white flag for so long now
I'm gonna lay it down
The day's a little brighter now
Since I been caring for myself
Been standing up for me without
Standing on somebody else
And I've been learning speaking out
Doesn't have to be the same
As shooting someone's spirit down
And burning out their dying flame
When I think of all the thoughts I couldn't speak
I wish I could tell the kid I used to be
If you're tired of tryin' to breathe with all these people on your chest
You're tryin' to find the peace and keep things equal when you're worth less
But you don't wanna fight for some lost cause
And you don't wanna cross the lines they cross
You've been flying this white flag for so long now
You gotta lay it down
You gotta lay it down
You gotta lay it down, Whoa
You've been flying this white flag for so long now
About who I am and what I feel
I've been checking all the mirrors
Pinch myself I guess I'm real
Been wondering why it's always me
Last to speak and last in line
When someone takes one for the team
I'm that someone every time
If I told you all the thoughts that I don't speak
Would it stop you as you walk all over me
I'm tired of tryin' to breathe with all these people on my chest
I'm tryin' to find the peace and keep things equal but I'm worth less
And I don't wanna fight for some lost cause
I don't wanna cross the lines they cross
I've been flying this white flag for so long now
I'm gonna lay it down
The day's a little brighter now
Since I been caring for myself
Been standing up for me without
Standing on somebody else
And I've been learning speaking out
Doesn't have to be the same
As shooting someone's spirit down
And burning out their dying flame
When I think of all the thoughts I couldn't speak
I wish I could tell the kid I used to be
If you're tired of tryin' to breathe with all these people on your chest
You're tryin' to find the peace and keep things equal when you're worth less
But you don't wanna fight for some lost cause
And you don't wanna cross the lines they cross
You've been flying this white flag for so long now
You gotta lay it down
You gotta lay it down
You gotta lay it down, Whoa
You've been flying this white flag for so long now
