The things people say
When they're trying to wound you with words.
Can't erase what you've heard.
The games people play
When they're lying - they hide behind smiles.
You're a friend for a while.
The fear people pray on;
Denying your right to exist.
Just a ghost in the mist.
The traps people lay
When they're dying to harm who you are.
They twist the knife in; they try hard to win.
I say lay your heart down on mine
I'll heal you.
And lay your heart down on mine.
I feel it too.
Woah, woah.
When the night's done
And the sun mends your eyes.
But you've still got the scars
From the whispering stars.
Your mind starts to run
And your one friend's not there.
There's a fire in your eyes
And it's burning the lies. It's burning the lies.
So lay your heart down on mine.
I'll heal you.
And lay your heart down on mine.
I feel it too.
You know I feel it too, yeah I feel it too.
Lay your heart down on me.
See your tears drown in me.
Free all the fears surrounding me.
Lay your heart down. [x2]
Lay, lay your heart down on me.
See your tears drown in me.
Lay your heart, lay your heart, lay your heart, lay your heart,
Lay your heart, lay your heart, lay your heart down.
Lay your heart down. See your tears drown.
Free all the fears. Lay your heart down.
On me, on me, on me, on me, on me, on me, on me, on me yeah!
Just got-ta lay yeah, just got-ta lay, just got-ta lay your,
Just got-ta lay your heart down on me.
Lay your heart down on me.
See your tears drown in me.
Free all the fears you found in me.
Lay your heart down.

Really like the composition, melodies, piano work. The originality, sensitivity, sensibilities are things no one can teach you and these are all here.
That very first line the things people say when they're trying to wound you with words..the entire emotional depth of the song is right there. Reaches pretty deep.
