Lyrics River - Oh, Be Clever

River

I used to keep my dark a secret
I used to keep my heart in pieces
He said he liked me better as a mess
He said he wants to save me from myself
I’m not-not gonna lie
I think-think I could die
Happy-happy-happy in his eyes
Lay me down in the river, love me like I’m a sinner
Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
If I drown in the river, will my soul be delivered?
Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
Can’t help, I’m feelin' like a reject
Sometimes I feel so damn derelict
You bathe me in the saltiest of tears
When I’m sad they show me how to face my fears
I’m not-not gonna lie
I think-think I could die
Happy-happy-happy in his eyes
Lay me down in the river, love me like I’m a sinner
Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
If I drown in the river, will my soul be delivered?
Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
Bury all my skeletons and let 'em stay dead
Exorcise the demons makin' homes in my head
And wash away my dirt and wash away this hurt
And lay me down to rest
I’m not-not gonna lie
I think-think I could die
Happy-happy-happy in his eyes
Lay me down in the river, love me like I’m a sinner
Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
If I drown in the river, will my soul be delivered?
Lay me down, lay me down, lay me down
