Lay Here

[James Bay:]
From nervous touch and getting drunk
To staying up and waking up with you
Now we're slipping near the edge
Holding something we don't need
Oh, this delusion in our heads
Is gonna bring us to our knees

[Hook James Bay:]
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me

Yeah, see as I lay here and get lost into those eyes
Can't deny my feelings for your being, they run deep inside
And we both know our hunger for some lust is all that's appetized
No ties is how it's advertised
I'd say we love these moments, but that's half a lie
Damn, you're trying to figure me out
And in your eyes I see the pain and fear that turns into doubt
Yeah, you find peace inside your mind as we lay here on this couch
And that's even though you know this moment may not last past now
It's not fair, you're in my ear, "Mark are you wasting my time"
We're so hard to define, It's a shame our name will laminate time
Cause what's forever to a fly, it's forever till we die
And if I let you have your way, you would just date cause I rhyme
Our connection is empty, but lately I've been searching for real
Do you remember how it feels to live and actually feel
She broke me down, so now you're left with all my pieces to heal
How can you steal something from someone who has nothing to steal
That's real

[Hook James Bay:]
So come on, let it go
Just let it be
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
Everything that's broke
Leave it to the breeze
Why don't you be you
And I'll be me
And I'll be me

See as you lay here... or as we lay here
You won't bottle your questions
You're asking why you can't stay here
The truth, I'm trying to lose all my feelings before they appear
Wanna be clear, but it's hard with this naked body I lay near
I know, I shoulda chose someone that matters, no bitches
I'm wishing I listened, I could've saved my heart from the stitches
We're kissing, I listen, you're telling me your favorite position
When really all I wanna hear is that you're loyal and driven
We're living in a world where girls are thinking diamonds are love
We're mining it up to remind us of us, paying for trust
Do you get it? She told me, "Mark just forget it"
I wanna change this world and girl I just don't think that you get it
This pressure is heavy, not ready to just let you forget me
But when this all is said and done, you gon regret that you met me
I used to wanna find a feeling, now I'm feeling so empty
But honestly, I wanna thank you for the love that you lent me
That's real
