The Weight
I wanna go back, forget that it's overPaint it in blackWhen you left me aloneI never knewShe was sleeping next door with the kid I grew up withAnd I can't go back to herAnymore, no
You tell me you were happier with himBut you want me to stayAnd you tell me that you needed time but you push me awayAnd when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaksNo, I can't lift the weight
Put you in the past, try to forget you cause it's overAnd every time you askI'll pretend I'm okayYou're inside my headIn the middle of the night when I don't feel rightI dream I can hold youAnd I can't go back to you anymore, yeah, yeah
You tell me you were happier with himBut you want me to stayAnd you tell me that you needed time but you push me awayAnd when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaksBut I can't lift the weightAnd I can't lift the weight
And I can't lift the weightNo, I can't life the weightYeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaksAnd I can't lift the weightNo, I can't life the weightYeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaksAnd I can't lift the weightNo, I can't life the weightYeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakesAnd I can't lift the weightNo, I can't life the weight
You tell me you were happier with himBut you want me to stayAnd you tell me that you needed time but you push me awayAnd when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaksBut I can't lift the weightAnd I can't lift the weightYou tell me you were happier with himBut you want me to stayAnd you told me that you needed time but you push me awayAnd when you try to take me back, you say my someday you will changeBut I don't want to wait
