I can hear
|
your voice, your voice
|
calling from the window
|
when you yelled that night
|
I didn't understand at all
|
|
but you hurt
|
and you cried
|
and you're mad
|
and you're angry at the world
|
you want to tear it down
|
you want to pull it down, down down
|
come on and lay down
|
lay down, lay down your pain
|
|
having you here, feels good
|
feels good inside the afternoon
|
and no one else
|
could ever take away that, man
|
you wanted love
|
but have you fear
|
you wanted love but it's the fear
|
and yet the fear it feels so real
|
and you run, run away
|
running from the pain, the pain
|
come on and lay down
|
lay down, lay down your pain
|
|
don't you see
|
this world
|
this world can be what you want
|
don't give it up, boy
|
don't you give it up, don't give it
|
don't you give it up, boy
|
you wanted love
|
you wanted joy
|
you wanted simple things in life
|
|
the world, the world is a better place
|
and this world is a better place
|
yes, the world is a better place
|
1234567 all good girls go to heaven
|
that's what they say
|
1234567 all good boys go to heaven
|
that's what they say
|
cause the world is a better place
|
yes, the world is a better place
|
|
come on, come on and lay down
|
won't you lay down this pain
|
the world is a better place
|
lay down your pain
|

Lay Down Your Pain
