I wanna go back, forget that it's overPaint it in black, when you left me aloneI never knew, she was sleeping next doorWith the kid I grew up withAnd I can't go back to her anymore, noYou tell me you were happier with himBut you want me to stayAnd you tell me that you needed time but you push me awayAnd when you try to take me backMy heavy heart just breaksNo I can't lift the weightPut you in the past, try to forget you cause it's overAnd every time you ask I'll pretend I'm okayYou're inside my headIn the middle of the night when I don't feel rightI dream I can hold youAnd I can't go back to you anymore, yeah, yeahYou tell me you were happier with himBut you want me to stayAnd you tell me that you needed time but you push me awayAnd when you try to take me backMy heavy heart just breaksBut, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weightAnd I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weightYeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaksAnd I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weightYeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaksAnd I can't lift the weigh, no I can't lift the weightYeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakesAnd I can't lift the weigh, no I can't life the weightYou tell me you were happier with himBut you want me to stayAnd you tell me that you needed time but youYou push me awayAnd when you try to take it backMy heavy heart just breaksBut, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weightYou tell me you were happier with himBut you want me to stayAnd you told me that you needed timeBut you push me awayAnd when you try to take me backYou say someday you will changeBut I don't want to wait
