Layla Lyrics

Don't you lay down Layla

You're greater than you know

Don't you lay down Layla

You're more than just a show

I know all those nights alone

Have got you trapped up in that mind

But couldn't I remind you

Of the greatness that's inside

I know that it kills you

The way that society sees you

But you're not just another pretty face

For society to screw

I won't let you go down

Without fighting you

I won't let you go down

Without reminding you

Layla

La-a-ay-la

It's killing me to see you

Go this way

Layla

It's society's tricks in your mind at play

Layla

I'm begging you

Oh, I'm begging you

To stay

You're more than they tell you

You're more than they could ever know

Layla

La-a-ay-la

I miss the way you smiled at the daisies on the street

I miss the way you laughed at my long and silly feet

These days

You don't come outside anymore

These days

You hide yourself away

And I can't stand it anymore

Layla

La-a-ay-la

I know it feels like the world against your convoluted mind

But it used to be so pure until you let them get inside

Layla

I need you don't you see

And this world needs more Layla's in it

Don't you leave me

Layla

Come outside and play

Layla

You could make this such a beautiful day

You let them win for long enough

They don't deserve your mind

You let them win for long enough

It's time to own your life

Come back Layla

Come back Layla

Come back La-a-a-ay-la
