Lay Me Down - REO Speedwagon

I’ve played your game

And I’ve played it well

I’ll be another fool

To hang upon your wall

I laid my heart out

Like an open book

It’s a simple thing and don’t take much

To crack it open and bleed

Lay me down

Lay me down when you’re through with me

Lay me down

Let me bleed when you’re through with me

Don’t let me think you’re wrong

Just let me fall down

I’ll pick myself up again

It’s the kindest thing you can do for me

So, woman, won’t you lay me down

I lied to myself

Tried to believe in you

But it’s hard to rely on the ghost of someone you hardly even knew

You bring things out

Just to bring me down

Then you twist them about and shove 'em in my face

Til my eyes can’t see any good

Yeah!
