The Weight (Live at Madison Square Garden/2016)

I want to go back, forget that it's over
Painted 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 more

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
But then 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 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, but you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you pushed me away
But then 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 life the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no I can't life 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 life 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
But then you try to take it 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 within, you want me to stay
You told me that you needed time but you, you pushed me away
And then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
Say someday you may change, but I don't wanna wait
