It's a pity we're not what everyone wants us to be
We try so hard every time
But you're the only the wound I refuse to close over
The only door I leave open wide
And through it all
I felt your heart breaking
I could never feel it before
A secret torment
Without a cause for the aching
Until I said, enough no more
But you will always be
The place where I lay my head
You will always be
The place where I lay my head
Peeling back all these mindless lies
Bore a flesh with little warmth
But the courage to look beyond uncertainty
That's how you wield a brand new start
And through it all
I felt your heart breaking
I could never feel it before
A secret torment
Without a cause for the aching
Until I said, enough no more
But you will always be
The place where I lay my head
You will always be
The place where I lay my head
And I had every answer written out for you
But this time I just couldn't prepare
I hope you know in this life
We are lesser than what we give
But what we believe turns the feared, to the brave
You will always be
The place where I lay my head
