lay down burden lyrics

So many years spent running away
How many times I wished I could stay
Too much emotion, a hole in my heart
Feeling alone since we've been apart and

If I had the chance I'd never let you go
I just want you to know

Down, lay me down, lay me down
Lay down burden
Down, lay me down, lay me down
Lay down burden

So many things I wanted to do
How many times spent thinking this through
So many nights spent here by the phone
Wonderin' if you felt just as alone and

While some things have all been
Crazy from the start, it's tearing me apart

Down, lay me down, lay me down
Lay down burden
Down, lay me down, lay me down
Lay down burden

Just remember the way I held you
You're always in my heart

Down, lay me down, lay me down
Lay down burden
Down, lay me down, lay me down
Lay down burden
