Shawn Mendes - The Weight lyrics

I want to 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 more

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

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 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 me 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
You 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
You say someday you will change
But I don't wanna wait
