[Intro: Adam Lambert]
L-l-lay me, l-l-lay me
L-l-lay me, l-l-lay me down
L-l-lay me, l-l-lay me
L-l-lay me, l-l-lay me down
L-l-lay me, l-l-lay me
L-l-lay me, l-l-lay me down
[Verse 1: Adam Lambert]
I've been weak, things get tough
Sometimes my knees can barely hold me up, yeah
I'm no fool, but it's said
You gotta walk a mile to get outta my head, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Lambert]
Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and, baby, don't you give up, yeah
Get your life, give a damn
You gotta make a move to show me where we can stand, yeah
[Chorus: Adam Lambert]
Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need (Come on)
Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need (Come on)
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
[Drop]
[Interlude: Adam Lambert]
I got the time, it'll be all right, yeah
I got the time that you need, yeah
[Verse 2: Adam Lambert]
We all bleed, bleed the same
If you get the picture, leave it out of the frame, yeah
In the now, take a chance
Make a mess and don't forget that life is a dance, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Adam Lambert]
Come within, taste it up
Take a little bit and, baby, don't you give up, yeah
Get your life, give a damn
You gotta make a move to show me where we can stand, yeah
[Chorus: Adam Lambert]
Lay me down in darkness
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need (Come on)
Lay me down in darkness, yeah
Tell me what you see
Love is where the heart is
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
[Post-Chorus: Adam Lambert]
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need, yeah
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
Show me I'm the one, tell me I'm the one that you need
[Build: Adam Lambert]
Mm, yeah
Show me, baby, baby, tell me that you need, yeah
I got the time, it'll be all right, yeah
I got the time that you need, yeah
Come on
[Drop: Adam Lambert]
L-l-lay me, l-l-lay me down
L-l-lay me, l-l-lay me down
L-l-lay me, l-l-lay me down
L-l-lay me, l-l-lay me down
L-l-lay me down in darkness
