Scott Harris - The Weight lyrics

[Verse 1] I want to 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 more [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus 3] 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
