Dead Weight

The weight of this heartache that I carry

Will see me to my grave

The bridge to tomorrow burns away

Time ain't no healer, I'll be real with you

Old scars never fade

Though I've tried

Unburden myself of this fate

I fear that it's far too late

Now I'm dead weight

And I'd hate to, I'd hate to burden you

With my embrace

And restrain you from all that awaits

Carrying my dead weight

Beside you

The path to a yesterday is so overgrown now

Buried in dead leaves and stone now

So far from home now

Though I've tried

Unburden myself of this fate

I fear that it's far too late

Now I'm dead weight

And I'd hate to, I'd hate to burden you

With my embrace

And restrain you from all that awaits

Carrying my dead weight

Beside you

An air so heavy has come to take me

And guide me away

Far from this fleeting truth so deceiving

You've gone to stay

You've gone to stay

You've gone to stay

You've gone to stay

You've gone to stay
