Miranda Lambert Bring Me Down Lyrics
Sweet like a kiss, sharp like a razor blade
I find you when I’m close to the bottom
You can’t appreciate the time it takes
To kick a love I always knew was kinda wrong
And as I’m putting out the flame
Somebody brings up your name
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Baby, baby, baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby, baby, baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Break my heart
Six am, unruffled pillow
Laughs out loud at my trusting heart
It’s like I didn’t see the penny
I missed the fountain by a couple yards
If you would only stay gone
Maybe I could move on
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Baby, baby, baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby, baby, baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Oh, baby, baby, baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby, baby, baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Oh, baby, baby, baby bring me down
I want to be right where you are
Baby, baby, baby bring me down
You can look me in the eye and break my heart
Break my heart
Bring me down
