Lay Me Down
Adele · 25 [2015]
I would never lie to you unless you tell me to
Every part of me, all my words to hold
And hold against me, why won't you let it be?
Don't you ever say my love opened up your heart
No I'm not gonna do it standing up
The words don't come out right when you're right in front of me
Help me baby, won't you turn off the lights
Lay me down ('til the morning)
Lay me down (through the night)
Lay me down (I can fall in)
Lay me down (won't you)
Lay me down (I can baby)
Lay me down (someone believe me)
I would never break the rules unless you tell me to
You can read my mind, be it truth or lies
Lie down beside me, why won't you let it be?
Don't you ever say my love opened up your heart
No I'm not gonna do it standing up
The words don't come out right when you're right in front of me
Help me baby, won't you turn off the lights
Lay me down ('til the morning)
Lay me down (through the night)
Lay me down (I can fall in)
Lay me down (won't you)
Lay me down (I can baby)
Lay me down (someone believe me)
Lay down with me
Lay down with me
Lay down with me
Lay down with me
Words don't come out right when you're right in front of me
Help me baby, won't you turn off the lights
Lay me down ('til the morning)
Lay me down (through the night)
Lay me down (I can fall in)
Lay me down (won't you)
Lay me down (I can baby)
Lay me down (someone believe me)
Every part of me, all my words to hold
And hold against me, why won't you let it be?
Don't you ever say my love opened up your heart
No I'm not gonna do it standing up
The words don't come out right when you're right in front of me
Help me baby, won't you turn off the lights
Lay me down ('til the morning)
Lay me down (through the night)
Lay me down (I can fall in)
Lay me down (won't you)
Lay me down (I can baby)
Lay me down (someone believe me)
I would never break the rules unless you tell me to
You can read my mind, be it truth or lies
Lie down beside me, why won't you let it be?
Don't you ever say my love opened up your heart
No I'm not gonna do it standing up
The words don't come out right when you're right in front of me
Help me baby, won't you turn off the lights
Lay me down ('til the morning)
Lay me down (through the night)
Lay me down (I can fall in)
Lay me down (won't you)
Lay me down (I can baby)
Lay me down (someone believe me)
Lay down with me
Lay down with me
Lay down with me
Lay down with me
Words don't come out right when you're right in front of me
Help me baby, won't you turn off the lights
Lay me down ('til the morning)
Lay me down (through the night)
Lay me down (I can fall in)
Lay me down (won't you)
Lay me down (I can baby)
Lay me down (someone believe me)
Lay Me Down
Released on Adele's 2015 album 25, 'Lay Me Down' stands as a poignant exploration of grief and the passage of time. The track features Adele's signature raw vocal delivery, layered with a minimalist production that emphasizes emotional vulnerability. As a centerpiece of the album, it reflects the artist's personal journey through loss, capturing the quiet resignation that often accompanies mourning. The song's placement within the broader catalogue of 25 underscores its role as a reflective piece, distinct from the more upbeat tracks surrounding it. Its enduring appeal lies in its ability to resonate with listeners facing their own emotional challenges, cementing its status as a defining moment in Adele's discography.
