| You were saying
|
| That everytime you fail to make a difference
|
| You make this promise to yourself
|
| To stop your craving
|
| For being what they want, and stop behaving
|
| Like you’re something you are not
|
| Coz' I can’t carry your weight
|
| I can’t carry your weight.
|
| You were saying
|
| That you are running out of good excuses
|
| So you found a place to hide beneath your blanket
|
| You stayed there for a while, you tossed your phone right out the window
|
| Like a quiet little lie
|
| And I can’t carry your weight
|
| I can’t carry your weight
|
| It’s what you do, not what you’re going through — that counts.
|
| I was thinking
|
| That when you could find the time
|
| We should go out drinking
|
| We could dance all through the night
|
| Or we could play old albums
|
| Just to see if they still match our expectations
|
| Or the ones we used to hear
|
| But I can’t carry your weight
|
| I can’t carry your weight.
|
| It’s what you do, not what they put you through — that counts.
|
| -instrumental pause-
|
| I can’t carry your weight
|
| I can’t carry your weight
|
| I can’t carry your weight
|
| I can’t carry your weight
|
| It’s what you do, not what you’re going through — that counts. |
