dead weight

bowersox, crystal

if it's meant to be

baby oh just let it be

let it bee

don't go beating dead horses

keep steady your course

you'll see

sing our lullaby

all things impossible in being nice

dreams don't take to your soul

it's the only thing no one can take

and if you don't know

i'll tell you

just take down your load and wipe your frown

if you're holding on to dead weight

it's just holding you down

oh you're gonna sink or swim

you better let it go now

let it go now

hear my lover's side

lying on a nothing set in black and white

oh but as i get older

each moment means more than the last

so i say we waste our time

on cigarettes and cheap red wine

we'll sing well into the night

that light will be coming up fast

and if you don't know

i'll tell you

just take down your load and wipe your frown

if you're holding on to dead weight it's just holding you down

oh you're gonna sink or swim

you better let it go now

let it go now

let it go now

and if you don't know

i'll tell you

just take down your load and wipe your frown

if you're holding on to dead weight it's just holding you down

oh you're gonna sink or swim

you better let it go now

oh

let it go now

let it go

let it go

let it go

oh

let it go now

let it go now

if you don't know i'll tell you
