Lyrics of Lay Me Down - BBC Live Lounge / 2015 by Hozier
verse
Yes, I do, I believe
That one day I will be
Where I was right there
Right next to you
verse
And it's hard
The days just seem so dark
The moon and the stars
Are nothing without you
verse
Your touch, your skin
Where do I begin?
No words can explain
The way I'm missing you
verse
Deny this emptiness
This hole that I'm inside
These tears
They tell their own story
pre-chorus
Told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong
chorus
Can I lay by your side?
Next to you, next to you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
verse
I'm reaching out to you
Can you hear my call?
This hurt that I've been through
I'm missing you like crazy
pre-chorus
You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong
chorus
Can I lay by your side?
Next to you, next to you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
bridge
Lay me down tonight
Lay me down tonight
Lay me down tonight
Lay me down tonight
chorus
Can I lay by your side?
Next to you, next to you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
chorus
Can I lay by your side?
Next to you, next to you
And make sure you're alright
I'll take care of you
I don't want to be here if I can't be with you tonight
Writer(s): James Napier, Sam Smith, Elvin Smith
