[Verse 1]
Don't even think for a second
I had any idea
I thought you'd always want me
Like I wanted you
[Verse 2]
I just stood there motionless
While you turned on me
By the time I got my wits about me
There was nothing I could do
[Chorus]
I was living in a bad dream
Not of my design
Caught up in the spotlight
Of your agitated mind
Minding my own business
Just rolling down the road
Trying not to take it personal
This heavy, heavy load
[Bridge]
You can't imagine how far
What was happening
Was from
What was happening
For me
Yeah, what was happening
Floored me
[Verse 3]
Because I thought that we were perfect
Which is to say
I just knew it was all worth it
Everyday
I would listen to the birds sing
In the morning
[Verse 4]
But it didn't matter if I turned left or I turned right
It didn't matter if I tossed and turned all night
I just couldn't do nothing right
[Chorus]
I was living in a bad dream
Not of my design
Caught up in the spotlight
Of your agitated mind
Minding my own business
Rolling down the road
Trying not to take it personal
This heavy, heavy load
