extra weight (acoustic)

Some of them cheated
One cheated twice
Some of them moved me
And some never tried
One said "I love you"
Two weeks shy of "goodbye"
Most got married
And all of them lied

Hear me when I say
"I don't want it to be this way"
No, I can't carry
Everybody else's hurt
When mine's enough to make it burn
It's just too heavy

All I wanna do if fly away
But there's too much baggage underneath this plane
It's nothing I want to claim
But somehow I'm to blame
For all the extra weight
So much extra weight

She was my best friend
Since seventh grade
Until she decided
I just got in the way
Most girls never liked me
And some were just mean
Always projecting
Their own insecurities

Hear me when I say
"I don't want it to be this way"
No, I can't carry
Everybody else's hurt
When mine's enough to make it burn
It's just too heavy

All I wanna do if fly away
But there's too much baggage underneath this plane
It's nothing I want to claim
But somehow I'm to blame
For all the extra weight
So much extra weight

I never asked for this
Or to hold onto it
Yet somehow here it is
Stealing my happiness

Nobody's perfect
Everybody needs help
Breaking up cycles
And taking care of
Our own mental health
Cause' some of the worst cards
We don't know we're dealt
Until we go deal them out
To somebody else
