[Verse 1]
The tear on your face runs alone
A hold back the rain, hold you close
Shivering, fragile, so cold
I take you away from it all
Inside your hearts exploding
I'll hold you 'til the hurt is gone

[Chorus]
You can lay your worries on me
Stop waiting for a let down
You can lay your head down and breathe
Nothing's going to get you you'll see
Stop waiting for a let down
You can lay your head down and breathe
It's not such a cruel world

[Verse 2]
Laying here with me now you're safe
You know its all that it takes
Slowly the fear drifts away
Just close your eyes and escape
Inside your hearts exploding
I'll hold you until the hurt is gone, gone

[Chorus]
You can lay your worries on me
Stop waiting for a let down
You can lay your head down and breathe
Nothing's going to get you you'll see
Stop waiting for a let down
You can lay your head down and breathe
It's not such a cruel world
It's not such a cruel world
[Bridge]
Nothing stays the same
But nothing has to stay
Nothing has to change
Let your troubles fade away

Nothing stays the same
But nothing has to stay
Nothing stays the same
Let your troubles fade away

[Chorus]
You can lay your worries on me
Stop waiting for a let down
You can lay your head down and breathe
Nothing's going to get you you'll see
Stop waiting for a let down
You can lay your head down and breathe
It's not such a cruel world
It's not such a cruel world

And nothing's going to get you you'll see
It's not such a cruel world
It's not such a cruel world
