Lay This Down Gently

Martin Zellar

Just lay This Down Gently, I'm feeling unstable

I'm closer to glass than to concrete or stone

I'll deal with this somehow as best as I'm able You drained me of trust and you left me alone



And you played, on my fears

And I feigned to be blind

And I guess I'm the fool

For not drawin' some line



So spare me the cliché's,

how things will be better

Don't you dare claim that you understand me



Cause these words that you offer

under cover of kindness

Are selfish not selfless,

And that's plain to see.



I thought you would change

That you'd settle down

Just how much did you think

I would swallow

To keep you around

Tp keep you around…



And you played on my fears

And I feigned to be blind

And I guess I'm the fool

For not drawing some line



Well right now I am calm,

the rage will come later

I'll deal with this in my own time,

my own way



But right now pack your bags

Can walk out the door

When time's done its healing,

I'll hear what you say



I thought you would change

That you'd settle down

Just how much did you think I would swallow

To keep you around

To keep you around…
