[Verse 1]

I used to keep my dark a secret

I used to keep my heart in pieces

He said he liked me better as a mess

He said he wants to save me from myself

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm not-not gonna lie

I think-think I could die

Happy-happy-happy in his eyes

[Chorus]

Lay me down in the river, love me like I'm a sinner

Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down

If I drown in the river, will my soul be delivered?

Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down

[Verse 2]

Can't help, I'm feelin' like a reject

Sometimes I feel so damn derelict

You bathe me in the saltiest of tears

When I'm sad they show me how to face my fears

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm not-not gonna lie

I think-think I could die

Happy-happy-happy in his eyes

[Chorus]

Lay me down in the river, love me like I'm a sinner

Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down

If I drown in the river, will my soul be delivered?

Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down

[Bridge]

Bury all my skeletons and let 'em stay dead

Exorcise the demons makin' homes in my head

And wash away my dirt and wash away this hurt

And lay me down to rest

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm not-not gonna lie

I think-think I could die

Happy-happy-happy in his eyes

[Chorus]

Lay me down in the river, love me like I'm a sinner

Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down

If I drown in the river, will my soul be delivered?

Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
