Pretty words can mean a lot
Be everything, but when they're not,
Sometimes you need just a little bit more more more more more, yeah
They're creepin' in, the fears and doubts
You need a sin to go-without
And your highest Me just hit the floor
That's when I need to come home

If you’re about to take the fall
I want you to wait a moment
If you’re about to blame yourself
I can’t even give you help
Whatever it is you think you did
Now you don't know the half of it
Lay it on me
Lay it on me

It’s never easy when your head is wrong
Doesn't mean you play along
Only leaves if we say
so so so so so
It’s not a place you ever find
Happiness, it’s a state of mind
You’ll never see if you’re looking
low
Lean on me, I’ll walk you home

If you’re about to lose your mind
Maybe just before you cry
I know I can make you smile
I can keep your makeup dry
Before you curse the stars above
Come over here I'll give you love
Lay it on me
Lay it on me

If you’re about to take the fall
I want you to wait a moment
If you’re about to blame yourself
I can’t even give you help
whatever it is you think you did
Now you don't know the half of it
Lay it on me
Lay it on me

Every lover needs a friend
Every friend needs a lover
Every lover needs a friend
Every friend needs a lover
So, whichever one it is
Oh, you know I got you covered

If you’re about to take the fall
I want you to wait a moment
If you’re about to blame yourself
I can’t even give you help
Cause whatever it is you think you did
You don't know the half of it
Lay it on me
Lay it on me

If you’re about to lose your mind
Maybe just before you cry
I know I can make you smile
I can keep your makeup dry
before you curse the stars above
Come over here I'll give you love
Lay it on me
Lay it on me
