Lay me down and hold me close

Even though this tenderness hurts the most

It's too hard to look into your eyes

Remembering the hopes, the dreams and the lies

I was your dream girl and you my perfect man

We were going to tackle the world hand in hand

How did it all go so wrong?

When did we make each other weak instead of strong?

Now it's over for better or worse

Our happy bubble has long since burst

I want to hold onto the good times forever

And not the bad that would make us hate each other

So lay me down and hold me close

It's this tenderness that I always loved most
