Dead Weight Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If we start cracking at the center, I won't let it break
Hold it together through the weather, it's my DNA
So sick of being your giver, throwing my soul away
A-a-a-all give, no-no-no-no take
[Pre-Chorus]
Look what you started
You're turning me heartless
I'm trying my hardest
If I'm being honest
[Chorus]
I can't take it over and over
Dead weight hanging off of my shoulder
Nothing changes, I'm getting colder
Dead weight hanging off of my shoulders
[Post-Chorus]
Dead weight hanging off of my shoulders
[Verse 2]
If I start cracking at the center, all this goes away
I'm staying numb to my feelings, dodge 'em like novocaine
My back is breaking from taking all of this dead weight
A-a-a-all give, no-no-no-no take
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you even notice
How easy you got this?
Taking wings off a goddess
If I'm being honest
[Chorus]
I can't take it over and over
Dead weight hanging off of my shoulder
Nothing changes, I'm getting colder
Dead weight hanging off of my shoulders
[Post-Chorus]
Dead weight hanging off of my shoulders
[Bridge]
A-a-a-all give, no-no-no-no take
A-a-a-all give, no-no-no-no take
A-a-a-all give, no-no-no-no take
A-a-a-all give, no-no-no-no take
[Chorus]
I can't take it over and over
Dead weight hanging off of my shoulder
Nothing changes, I'm getting colder
Dead weight hanging off of my shoulders
I can't take it over and over
Dead weight hanging off of my shoulder
Nothing changes, I'm getting colder
Dead weight hanging off of my shoulders

What did PVRIS say about "Dead Weight"?
“Dead Weight” is about being a people pleaser, holding others up and never asking for anything back. Quite often that can be taken advantage of and it can be hard to say “no”/set boundaries. This feels amplified, especially as a woman. This song is about stepping into my power as a woman, shedding o...
What did Lynn tell Apple Music about the song?
Again, this was about reflecting on being a people-pleaser and always putting others’ feelings and expectations before mine. The song is about wanting to shed those habits and patterns. But also about shedding people who don’t understand that and won’t allow you to set those boundaries—old friendshi...
