WEIGHT

[Intro]
I feel like it fell into pieces without any reason
I think the summer that we moved in was my favorite season
(What came first, music or the nose ring?)

[Chorus]
I feel like it's wrong, like I don't pray for this
Cemented in my ways and there's no changing it
I might change my life, no I won't wait for it
If you could change your life, what would you stake for it?
I dropped the book and I lost the page
Embarked on my journey, carried the weight
I think it's time I'm let in, they tell me, "Wait at the gate"
I can't watch all the paint while still expecting change
Alone again in a new context
You could try and break me, but I won't ever bend
I try to break the cycle, but it won't ever end
Deny myself a feeling when I can't ascend (Can't ascend)
And I swear you're my everything
But it's also why I gotta go
And I swear you're my everything
Yeah, you took my heart, but can you free my soul?
(So what did he do that ruined this?)

[Verse]
I just hate the fact I cannot come home
Made the choice and now I walk down the road
Can't be the man I thought I was when we first met
This is another quiet night all alone
My self-respect was severed down to the bone
Felt undeserving of the things that I own
Work every day to show myself that I've grown
Tell me, God, how do I hide what I've shown

[Bridge]
I know they try and break us, try and separate us
I wake up and watch the trees change, God ain't ever betrayed us
(What came first, music or the nose ring?)

[Chorus]
I feel like it's wrong, like I don't pray for this
Cemented in my ways and there's no changing it
I might change my life, no I won't wait for it
If you could change your life, what would you stake for it?
I dropped the book and I lost the page
Embarked on my journey, carried the weight
I think it's time I'm let in, they tell me, "Wait at the gate"
I can't watch all the paint while still expecting change
Alone again in a new context
You could try and break me, but I won't ever bend
I try to break the cycle, but it won't ever end
Deny myself a feeling when I can't ascend (Can't ascend)
And I swear you're my everything
But it's also why I gotta go
And I swear you're my everything
Yeah, you took my heart, but can you free my soul?
