Lay Your Worries Down

[Verse 1]
You’ve been carrying clouds all week
Eyes say things your mouth won’t speak
Sitting in the dark on your phone
Trying not to feel so alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Come lay your head on my chest (come here)
Let your heartbeat catch its breath
You don’t gotta hold that weight
Give it all to me instead
[Chorus]
Lay your worries down on me
Let me be the place you sleep
Every heavy thought you keep
I’ll take it
I’ll take it
You don’t have to break alone
I’ll be shelter
I’ll be home
Every tear you hide so deep
I’ll take it
I’ll take it off your soul
[Verse 2]
You say “I’m fine
” but your hands shake
Smiling just to keep the frame from breakin’
Baby
You ain’t gotta be strong tonight
You can fall apart in my arms
It’s alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Let every fear leave your lips
I’ll catch every shaking wish
You don’t gotta fix a thing
Just be here and let me sing
[Chorus]
Lay your worries down on me
Let me be the place you sleep
Every heavy thought you keep
I’ll take it
I’ll take it
You don’t have to break alone
I’ll be shelter
I’ll be home
Every tear you hide so deep
I’ll take it
I’ll take it off your soul
[Bridge]
Give me your storms
Your tired eyes
Every “I’m okay” that’s just a lie
If it hurts you
It hurts me too
So let that darkness move
Into my hands
Into this room
Let it all fall
I’ll stay with you (yeah)
[Chorus]
Lay your worries down on me
Let me be the place you sleep
Every heavy thought you keep
I’ll take it
I’ll take it
You don’t have to break alone
I’ll be shelter
I’ll be home
Every tear you hide so deep
I’ll take it
I’ll take it off your soul

Warm neo-soul R&B ballad, male vocals. Soft electric piano and muted bass glide under a lazy, swung drum groove. Verses stay close and intimate with brushed snares and subtle jazz guitar licks; chorus blooms with stacked harmonies, airy pads, and a slightly brighter Rhodes patch. Occasional falsetto ad-libs float above the hook, with a gentle rise into the bridge then a tender, stripped-down outro on just keys and voice., soul
