The Weight

I wanna go back, forget that it's over

Painted in black, when you left me alone

I never knew, she was sleeping next door

With the kid I grew up with, and I can't go back to her

Anymore, no

You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay

And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away

But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks

No, I can't lift the weight

Put you in the past, try to forget you cause it's over

And every time you ask I'll pretend I'm okay

You're inside my head

In the middle of the night when I don't feel right

I dream I can hold you, and I can't go back to you anymore, yeah, yeah

You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay

And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away

But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks

But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight

And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't lift the weight

Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks

And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't lift the weight

Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks

And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't lift the weight

Yeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakes

And I can't lift the weigh, no I can't lift the weight

You tell me you were happier with him but you want me to stay

And you tell me that you needed time but you, you push me away

But then you try to take it back, my heavy heart just breaks

But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight

You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay

You told me that you needed time but you, you push me away

And then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks

Say someday you will change, but I don't wanna wait
