the weight
Singer: mendes, shawn
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
you want me to stay
and you tell me that you needed time but you pushed 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
you want me to stay
and you tell me that you needed time but you pushed 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 lift the weight
yeah
you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
and i can't lift the weight
no
i can't lift the weight
yeah
you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
and i can't lift the weight
no
i can't lift the weight
yeah
you lower your standards and i raise the stakes
and i can't lift the weight
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 pushed 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
you told me that you needed time but you
you pushed me away
and when you try to take me back
you say someday you will change
but i don't wanna wait
