# LAY IT ON ME [Verse 1] You come in like thunder With fire in your eyes You tear the whole house down Then ask me why I cry You carry something heavy But you never let me see You won’t hold your hurt So you lay it on me [Verse 2] You run down to the river Try to wash away the night Come back with empty hands Still looking for a fight You say I’m the reason You can never find your peace You won’t hold your hurt So you lay it on me [Chorus] You lay it on me You lay it on me Every wound you hide You make me bleed You keep running from the fire But you bring the smoke home You won’t face your pain So I carry it alone [Verse 3] I used to take the blame Every time you lost control I tried to fill the hole That was swallowing you whole But I can’t save a man From what he will not see You won’t hold your hurt So you lay it on me [Bridge x3] I ain’t your bottle I ain’t your blame I ain’t the home For all your shame [Repeat, building] I ain’t your bottle I ain’t your blame I ain’t the home For all your shame [Repeat, full band and backing vocals] I ain’t your bottle I ain’t your blame I ain’t the home For all your shame [Final Chorus] You lay it on me You lay it on me Every wound you hide You make me bleed You keep running from the fire But you bring the smoke home You won’t face your pain But I won’t carry it alone You lay it on me You lay it on me Not anymore Not anymore
