Lay My Body Down

Written by Dan Smith, Daniel Priddy, Mark Crew, Rag’n’Bone Man
All I'm looking for Is a little bit more rope To wrap around my throat I'm in trouble I'm in trouble
And all I'm gasping for Is one last breath of hope To hear the hearts I broke I'm in trouble I'm in trouble
When you lay my body down When you throw me in the ground Don't be sorry When you lay my body down When you throw me in the ground
Save your prayers Don't shed a tear, don't shed a tear for me Save your prayers Don't shed a tear, don't shed a tear for me Turn your heart To the trail Of souls behind me Save your prayers Don't shed a tear, don't shed a tear for me
All the fearful eyes Stay burned upon my mind The gift they left behind I'm all troubles I'm all troubles
Still they find the words Ring louder than my thoughts Lay heavy as a curse I'm in trouble I'm in trouble
When you lay my body down When you throw me in the ground Don't be sorry When you lay my body down When I'm buried in the ground
Save your prayers Don't shed a tear, don't shed a tear for me Save your prayers Don't shed a tear, don't shed a tear for me Turn your heart To the trail Of souls behind me Save your prayers Don't shed a tear, don't shed a tear for me
These are my confessions I'm singing out my dying words These are my confessions Make peace before I hit the dirt These are my confessions Hear all my sins laid down in verse These are my confessions Oh, these are my confessions
Save your prayers Don't shed a tear, don't shed a tear for me Save your prayers Don't shed a tear, don't shed a tear for me Turn your heart To the trail Of souls behind me Save your prayers Don't shed a tear, don't shed a tear for me
