[Verse]
I don't know why you love me like you do
I don't wanna lie, but I'm always crying wolf
And I don't think you ever even knew
I never meant to keep it all from you
[Pre-Chorus]
So I sing you songs
And I write you words
And I buy you diamonds
And I buy you pearls
So just
[Chorus]
Let me lay down my head, in your hands
Let me lay down my head, in the grove
Let me lay down my helly, achy head
Let me lay down my love
[Verse]
Everyone's always singin' 'bout the blues
Yes someone somewhere's whinin' out the blues
If they were blue then they wouldn't sing the blues
If they were blue they'd end up in a noose
[Pre-Chorus]
So I sing you songs
And I write you words
And I buy you diamonds
And I buy you pearls
So just
[Chorus]
Let me lay down my head in your hands
Let me lay down my head, in the grove
Let me lay down my helly, achy head
Let me lay down my love
[Bridge]
Oh, my silly songs
Oh, my tired words
Oh, your blinding diamonds, and your heavy pearls
I could draw your picture, you could call me vein
We could laugh at each other, through all this pain
So just
[Chorus]
Let me lay down my head in your hands
Let me lay down my head, in the grove
Let me lay down my helly, achy head
Let me lay down my love
[Outro]
Let me lay down my head in your hands
Let me lay down my head, in the grove
Let me lay down my helly, achy head
Let me lay down my love
