When I Lay Down Lyrics

They said - Lay lay down in the water,
even though you don't believe
All your sins will be forgiven,
and your soul will be redeemed
So I walked into the water,
and I fell down to my knees,
and I took out some insurance,
and I bought a little peace
But when I lay down,
I lied
When I lay down,
I lied

She said - Carling do you love me?
And I said - Sure I do
And I led her to believe me,
as I proved that it was true
Well, I let my body love her
God knows I really tried
And the comfort of it touched her,
and her heart was satisfied
But when I lay down,
I lied
When I lay down,
I lied

to make them happy
and I lied so they would care
I lied 'cause i was lonely
and I lied 'cause i was scared
I lied so some would leave me
and I lied so some would stay
I lied until I lied my life away
I dreamed my life was over
and they laid me in my grave
I was frightened of forever
and the price I'd have to pay
And I thought that God would hate me
'cause I'd lived my life in sin,
but I felt the truth embrace me
as heaven let me in

And when I lay down
I lay down
and cried
