"Lay It Down" lyrics
You've been counting every dollar like it's counting who you are
Laying awake with the numbers staring holes into the dark
Every bill another weight hanging off your chest
You call it being strong but you never get to rest
You've been chasing peace of mind like it's something you can buy
Thinking if you had enough you'd finally feel alright
But the fear don't leave when the money comes in
It just finds a new voice says you might lose again
But you don't have to hold the world together
You don't have to fix it all tonight
La-a-ay
Lay it down
You don't have to carry this all alone
All that weight was never yours to own
You are more than what you make, more than what you hold
Even on your worst day, you're worth more than you know
You've been tying your worth to the work that you do
If it slows down at all you feel lesser than you
Like if you ain't moving then you falling behind
So you run from yourself just to stay in your mind
You're afraid if you stop everything fades away
So you hold it all in let it eat in your face
But what if you're not lost just forgot how to be?
What if letting go is the thing that you need?
You don't have to be enough for everybody
You don't have to outrun your life
La-a-ay
Lay it down
You don't have to carry this all alone
All that weight was never yours to own
You are more than what you make, more than what you hold
Even on your worst day, you're worth more than you know
Why you fighting for a life that slips your hands?
Why you chasing who you are from where you stand?
If it all fell apart would you fall apart too?
Or were you never the weight that you've been holding onto?
You hold it all in just to hold it together
The more that you hold on, more it don't get better
Come to me when you're tired
Not when you've got it figured out
I was never waiting on perfect
I'm here with you right now
La-a-ay
Lay it down
You don't have to carry this all alone
All that weight was never yours to own
You are more than what you make, more than what you hold
Even on your worst day, you're worth more than you know
Come to me when you're tired
Lay it down
Laying awake with the numbers staring holes into the dark
Every bill another weight hanging off your chest
You call it being strong but you never get to rest
You've been chasing peace of mind like it's something you can buy
Thinking if you had enough you'd finally feel alright
But the fear don't leave when the money comes in
It just finds a new voice says you might lose again
But you don't have to hold the world together
You don't have to fix it all tonight
La-a-ay
Lay it down
You don't have to carry this all alone
All that weight was never yours to own
You are more than what you make, more than what you hold
Even on your worst day, you're worth more than you know
You've been tying your worth to the work that you do
If it slows down at all you feel lesser than you
Like if you ain't moving then you falling behind
So you run from yourself just to stay in your mind
You're afraid if you stop everything fades away
So you hold it all in let it eat in your face
But what if you're not lost just forgot how to be?
What if letting go is the thing that you need?
You don't have to be enough for everybody
You don't have to outrun your life
La-a-ay
Lay it down
You don't have to carry this all alone
All that weight was never yours to own
You are more than what you make, more than what you hold
Even on your worst day, you're worth more than you know
Why you fighting for a life that slips your hands?
Why you chasing who you are from where you stand?
If it all fell apart would you fall apart too?
Or were you never the weight that you've been holding onto?
You hold it all in just to hold it together
The more that you hold on, more it don't get better
Come to me when you're tired
Not when you've got it figured out
I was never waiting on perfect
I'm here with you right now
La-a-ay
Lay it down
You don't have to carry this all alone
All that weight was never yours to own
You are more than what you make, more than what you hold
Even on your worst day, you're worth more than you know
Come to me when you're tired
Lay it down
