Lay Me Down
Unveiling Vulnerability: Lay Me Down's Heartfelt Plea
Lyrics
I've played your game and I've played it well
I have played your game skillfully.
I'll be another fool to hang upon your wall
I won't be a fool to be just another conquest or trophy for you.
I laid my heart out like an open book
I have revealed my feelings openly, like an open book.
And it's a simple thing and don't take much
Love is a simple thing, not requiring much, and it's easy to hurt.
To crack it open and bleed, so
It doesn't take much to emotionally wound me.
Lay me down
Requesting to be laid down, possibly after a relationship.
Lay me down when you're through with me
Asking to be let go or released after being used or hurt.
Lay me down
Repeating the request to be laid down, indicating vulnerability.
Let me bleed when you're through with me
Expressing a willingness to endure pain or suffering.
Don't let me think you're wrong
Asking not to be deceived, to be honest about the situation.
Just let me fall down I'll pick myself up again
Accepting a fall but expressing resilience and self-reliance.
And it's the kindest thing you can do for me
Suggesting that letting go is a kind action.
So, woman, won't you lay me down, yeah
Specifically addressing a woman, asking for emotional release.
Well I lied to myself tried to believe in you
Admitting to self-deception and difficulty trusting someone.
But it's hard to rely on the ghost of someone I hardly even knew
It's challenging to depend on someone barely known or understood.
You see you bring things out just to bring me down
Pointing out a pattern of bringing out negatives to bring the person down.
Then you twist them about and shove 'em in my face
Manipulating situations to create conflict and confrontation.
Till my eyes can't see any good
Resulting in the inability to see any positive aspects.
Oh lay me down
Reiterating the request to be laid down after the emotional turmoil.
Lay me down when you're through with me
Repeating the desire to be released after the emotional experience.
Come on lay me down
Urgently asking to be laid down, emphasizing the need for release.
Let me bleed when you're through with me
Willingness to endure emotional pain after the relationship ends.
Don't let me think you're wrong
Reiterating the plea not to be deceived, to face the truth.
Just let me fall down I'll pick myself up again
Embracing the fall and expressing the ability to recover independently.
And it's the kindest thing you can do for me
Reiterating that letting go is an act of kindness.
So, woman, won't you lay me down, come on
Addressing the woman again, asking for emotional release.
Oh lay me down
Continuing the plea to be laid down after the emotional turmoil.
Lay me down when you're through with me
Repeating the desire to be released from emotional entanglement.
Come on lay me down
Stressing the urgency of being laid down after the emotional experience.
Let me bleed when you're through with me
Expressing readiness to endure emotional pain post-relationship.
Don't let me think you're wrong
Reiterating the plea not to be deceived and to face reality.
Just let me fall down I'll pick myself up again
Reaffirming the ability to bounce back independently from a fall.
Oh baby lay me down
Adding a term of endearment to the request for emotional release.
Lay me down when you're through with me
Requesting to be laid down after the emotional turmoil.
Oh lay me down
Repeating the plea for release from emotional entanglement.
Let me bleed when you're through with me
Emphasizing the readiness to endure emotional pain post-relationship.
Don't let me think you're wrong
Reiterating the plea not to be deceived and to embrace reality.
Just let me fall down I'll pick myself up again
Restating the ability to recover independently from a fall.
It's the kindest thing you can do for me
Highlighting that letting go is an act of kindness.
Woman, won't you lay me down
Addressing the woman again, asking for emotional release.
