the weight

Shawn Mendes

I wanna go back
Forget that it's over
Paint it 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

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
And when 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'll 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
And when 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

I can't lift the weight
No I can't lift 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 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 lift 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
And when 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 with him
But want me to stay
You told me that you needed time but you
You pushed me away
And when you try to take me back
Say someday you will change
But I don't want wait
