Lyrics
[Verse 1] I came in bent With a box of old days Name on the lid And the lid wouldn't stay Hands full of shoulds In a paper bag rain Laughing at myself While i dragged that chain [Pre-Chorus] Put it down slow Let my shoulders breathe I don't need to Carry everything [Chorus] I lay it down I lay it down Hands open wide I lay it down I lay it down I lay it down What was mine to hold I lay it down [Verse 2] For my mother Who held too much alone For my brother Who kept his bruises unknown For my own name Scratched into the floor I forgive the weight I can't ask for more [Pre-Chorus] Put it down slow Let my shoulders breathe I don't need to Carry everything [Chorus] I lay it down I lay it down Hands open wide I lay it down I lay it down I lay it down What was mine to hold I lay it down [Bridge] Take this burden off my back Take this burden off my back I been learning how to rest Learning how to rest If love is real It won't ask me to break If love is real It will make me whole [Chorus] I lay it down I lay it down Hands open wide I lay it down I lay it down I lay it down What was mine to hold I lay it down
