Lay It Down

Lay it down, lay it down
All them things you been carryin' around
Take a deep breath and a good look around
The time has come to lay it down

I did my best, but that didn't do
And I gave all I had to you
Then you treated me like an old shoe
And I knew just what I had to do

Lay it down, lay it down
The time has come to lay it down
You took all my love, didn't bring yours around
The time has come to lay it down

I did my best, but that didn't do
There's just no pleasin' a man like you
You wanted it all and then some more
You were always walkin' out of the door

You fooled me once
You won't fool my twice
I'm gonna take my own good advice
It came down to love, yours wasn't true
Time doesn't heal every wound
Time doesn't heal every wound

Lay me down, lay me down
In fields of green, blue skies all around
You play to win, but then you lose
It was never an ending you'd ever choose

But you pushed and pulled, and we fought all them nights
Remember the fight to end all fights?
My hopes and dreams went down that night
And I know I put up one hell of a fight

Lay it down, just lay it down
The time has come to lay it down
What was lost cannot be found
The time has come to lay it down

Lay it down, just let it be
You'll be happy, you'll be free
You wanted her, you never wanted me
The time has come to lay it down
The time has come to lay love down
