The Weight lyrics

I wanna go back, forget that it's over

Paint it 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

But you want me to stay

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

And when 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

But you want me to stay

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

And when 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 weight

No, I can't life the weight

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

And I can't lift the weight

No, I can't life the weight

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

And I can't lift the weight

No, I can't life the weight

Yeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakes

And I can't lift the weight

No, I can't life 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 push me away

And when 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

You tell me you were happier with him

But you want me to stay

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

And when you try to take me back, you say my someday you will change

But I don't want to wait
