Lay Down Lyrics

[Chorus]
Won't you lay down
And tell me the places you've been
Won't you lay down
And relive your story again
If things could turn back around
I know I would do anything
Won't you lay down
'Cause I know that heaven's waitin'

[Verse]
Won't you stay now
There’s so much that's never been said
Won't you stay now
Remind me to never forget
And I, I won't break down
I don't want to live with regret
Won't you stay now
I'll be by your side till the end

[Bridge]
And you've been to places I've never been
Built your walls so high, but you'd always let me in
You showed me that love can build a home
But now I see that it's time to let you go
[Chorus]
Won't you lay down
And tell me the places you've been
Won't you lay down
And relive your story again
If things could turn back around
I know I would do anything
Won't you lay down
'Cause I know that heaven's waitin'

[Outro]
No, no
If things could turn back around
I know I would do anything
Won't you lay down
'Cause I know that heaven's waitin'

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Ella said the track listing of Chapter One was done so one song would explain a situation and the other would help you through it. In many ways this song is a prequel to ‘Missed’ as it deals with the loss of a loved one and the grieving whereas Missed helps you move on by saying Goodbye finally
