Lay me down and hold me close
Even though this tenderness hurts the most
It’s too hard to look into your eyes
Remembering the hopes, the dreams and the lies
I was your dream girl and you my perfect man
We were going to tackle the world hand in hand
How did it all go so wrong?
When did we make each other weak instead of strong?
Now it’s over for better or worse
Our happy bubble has long since burst
I want to hold onto the good times forever
And not the bad that would make us hate each other
So lay me down and hold me close
It’s this tenderness that I always loved most
