[Verse 1]

Let me lay down first

Why you getting on my nerves?

I kill it but i don’t rehearse

Go from bad to worse

End up sad and hurt

Know this shit don’t work

I break bread, drink wine i don’t go to church

You call my phone and i’d be so alert

You hate my nappy fro you let my comb emerge

Save me reasons give me no excuses

Everything you say it don’t amuse me

Come over to me

Why you don’t believe

Why you don’t agree

Tired of running away

Please take the locks off the cage

I don’t belong in your ways

I should move on everyday

[Pre Hook 1] (Gaidaa)

You ain’t trying

I ain’t lying

Come closer to me darling

I got what you need charming

Your face your voice so calming

Makes things easier for me

Nothing to lose by taking a chance

Nothing to lose by taking my hand


[Hook 1]

You don’t wanna lay down, no

I just wanna fade out, oh

Tell me you’re okay now

Can’t be running late now

You don’t wanna lay down

[Verse 2] (Gaidaa)

You’ve gotta lay down

Gotta learn to breathe

Learn to let things be

And we can be so full of doubt

Why don’t you believe

Trust our energy

I follow you

Into the dark

I promise

I’ll tell the truth

That’s nothing new

So why can’t you be honest

Under your spell

Try to rebel

I’m falling

Oh can’t you tell

I’m not doing well

[Bridge] (Gaidaa & Joshua J)

You got what i need

We got Chemistry

Don't pretend to be

Something you don't feel

Know that shit ain't real

Don't put on a shield


[Hook 2]

You don’t wanna lay down, no

I just wanna fade out, oh

Tell me you’re okay now

Can’t be running late now

You don’t wanna lay down
