the weight on my shoulders

My chest is closing in
And I can't feel anything
Pinch me, am I dreaming
These moments I keep on stealing
From somebody else
I'm not myself
My reflection, her short attention
She can't look me in the eyes
Can't remember if I lied
If I did, I apologise

The weight on my shoulders
Add another pound
Cause lately I have found
That I'm so much older
Than I thought I was
Where did this come from

It weighs me down
I'm grounded now
It weighs me down
With no way out

My walls are tumbling
And you just watch as they come crashing down
Your silence is so loud
Who needs someone else
When you have yourself
My reflection's never lied
But a photo makes me cry
I pick apart all the features
That don't look like what I dreamed of

The weight on my shoulders
Add another pound
Cause lately I have found
That I'm so much older
Than I thought I was
Where did this come from

It weighs me down
I'm grounded now
It weighs me down
With no way out

I miss when everything was easy
And I had no responsibility
I miss when everything was anything but this
Can't say I don't miss

Running round the kitchen on a Thursday night
And we promised not to argue but we'd always fight
About something insignificant
But we were so persistent
That we were right
And it's on my mind
