Lyrics

Verse
I heard that you’re carrying a heartache, your man don’t love you no more
And you don’t know what to do with that sorrow that he left outside your door
Don’t hang on to a broken dream, that isn’t going to help you
If you wanna put away his memory, I know what you can do

Chorus
Lay it in my arms, let me ease your mind
Rest it on my shoulders, give yourself a little time
I can’t change your yesterday, but I can be the friend you need
Lay it in my arms
Trust your heart with me

Verse
I can tell you that healing takes time
I’ve been there, you’ll make it through
I had to renew my faith in love and I know you can do it, too
Hope is fragile like a house of cards; you’ll need to build it day by day
If you want somewhere to put your new dream, I know a place

Chorus
Lay it in my arms, let me ease your mind
Rest it on my shoulders, give yourself a little time
I can’t change your yesterday, but I can be the strength you need
Lay it in my arms
Trust your heart with me

Bridge
You’re like a Phoenix; so beautiful; when you want to fly, I’m here
Let me be the one you turn to with all the love you’re ready to share
Lay it in my arms
Lay it in my arms, girl
Lay it in my arms
Lay it in my arms, girl

Chorus
Lay it in my arms, let me ease your mind
Rest it on my shoulders, give yourself a little time
I can’t change your yesterday, but I can be the love of your dreams
Lay it in my arms
Trust your heart with me
