So many years spent running away
How many times I wished I could stay
Too much emotion a hole in my heart
Feeling alone since we've been apart
And if I had the chance I'd never let you go Just want you to know 
Down  lay me down  Lay me down  Lay down burden 
lay me down  Lay me down  Lay down burden 
How many things I wanted to do
 How many times spent thinking this through
 So many nights spent here by the phone
 Wonderin' if you felt just as alone
 And while some things have all been  Crazy from the start
 It's tearing me apart
lay me down  Lay me down  Lay down burden 
lay me down  Lay me down  Lay down burden 
Just remember the way I held you
 You're always in my heart
Down lay me down  Lay me down  Lay down burden
Down lay me down  Lay me down  Lay down burden  
Down lay me down  Lay me down  Lay down burden
