She Lays Down
The 1975
And she lays down
On her bedroom floor
The chemicals that make her laugh
Don't seem to be working anymore
She tries her best
But it hurts her chest
And even though her Sun is gone
She'd like to love her child nevertheless
My hair is brown
She's scared to touch
And she just wants to feel something
And I don't think that's asking for too much
And when I go to sleep
It's when she begins to weep
She's appalled by not loving me at all
She wears a frown and dressing gown
When she lays down
We got a plane
Oh, to see my dad again
She prayed that we'd fall from the sky
Simply to alleviate the pain
Over water
Over terrain
The engines all go bust, we turned to dust
And I've no reason to complain, yeah
And in the end, she chose cocaine
But it couldn't fix her brain
She's appalled, oh, she doesn't love me at all
She wears a frown and dressing gown
When she lays down
That was it
