Lay It Down Lyrics

Some days I think that no-one cares

About who I am and what I feel

I've been checking all the mirrors

Pinch myself I guess I'm real

Been wondering why it's always me

Last to speak and last in line

When someone takes one for the team

I'm that someone every time

If I told you all the thoughts that I don't speak

Would it stop you as you walk all over me

I'm tired of tryin' to breathe with all these people on my chest

I'm tryin' to find the peace and keep things equal but I'm worth less

And I don't wanna fight for some lost cause

I don't wanna cross the lines they cross

I've been flying this white flag for so long now

I'm gonna lay it down

The day's a little brighter now

Since I been caring for myself

Been standing up for me without

Standing on somebody else

And I've been learning speaking out

Doesn't have to be the same

As shooting someone's spirit down

And burning out their dying flame

When I think of all the thoughts I couldn't speak

I wish I could tell the kid I used to be

If you're tired of tryin' to breathe with all these people on your chest

You're tryin' to find the peace and keep things equal when you're worth less

But you don't wanna fight for some lost cause

And you don't wanna cross the lines they cross

You've been flying this white flag for so long now

You gotta lay it down

You gotta lay it down

You gotta lay it down, Whoa

You've been flying this white flag for so long now
