Lyrics The Weight - No Bragging Rights

The Weight

«How is this happening?»
«None of this makes sense.»
«I wasn’t ready.»
I’m trying to find the words
As if they could bring comfort
Screaming in your hands
And asking hard questions
No one could ever answer
His love remained strong for you, this much I know is true
You’re wrong if you think leaving is an easy thing to do
Maybe when you’re older you’ll finally understand…
His sickness.
Why he left.
Was never part of the plan
Tough decisions made in the blink of an eye
Maybe that’s why they leave without saying goodbye
You wre worth staying for
Proof in the way he fought this war
It just bcame too much
It wasn’t just quitting or just giving up
Who can really know the weight…
Of leaving when you want to stay?
Who can truly know the weight…
«You don’t understand this weight.
I can’t stay»
Who can really know the weight
Of leaving when you just can’t stay?
Of leaving when you just can’t stay?
Now you get to tell their story
So, will you tell their story?
…Not like this
This wasn’t how it was supposed to be
But now you get to tell their story
Tough decisions made in the blink of an eye
Maybe that’s why they leave without saying goodbye
