Put your bag by the door
Let your hands be still
You don't have to carry
Every sharp broken thing
I can sit here with you
Till the room goes soft
Till the hard edge in your chest
Starts letting go
Breathe in slow
Breathe out slow
Nothing asks you now
Nothing asks you now
Lay it down, my love
Lay it down
Let the night be kind
Lay it down, my love
Lay it down
You don't need to fight
(you don't need to fight)
(you don't need to fight)
There's a cup on the sill
Half gone, still warm
Moonlight on the table
And a quiet in the walls
I know the weight you wore
I know the long miles
But your name still sounds like home
When I say it low
Breathe in slow
Breathe out slow
Nothing asks you now
Nothing asks you now
Lay it down, my love
Lay it down
Let the night be kind
Lay it down, my love
Lay it down
You don't need to fight
(you don't need to fight)
(you don't need to fight)
If the ache comes back
I'll stay near
If the room feels cold
I'll hold you here
No need to explain
No need to prove
Just rest your face
In the quiet I bring to you
Lay it down, my love
Lay it down
Let the night be kind
Lay it down, my love
Lay it down
You don't need to fight
Lay it down, my love
Lay it down
You are safe tonight
Lay it down, my love
Lay it down
Let it heal inside
(you don't need to fight)
(lay it down)
