The Weight
Unveiling the Weight of Tough Decisions in Love
Lyrics
How is this happening?
Expressing confusion and disbelief about the current situation.
None of this makes sense.
Stating that the events are not logically understandable.
I wasn't ready.
Feeling unprepared for what is happening.
I'm trying to find the words,
Attempting to articulate thoughts or emotions.
As if they could bring comfort.
Doubting that words can provide solace or ease the situation.
Screaming in your hands,
Expressing frustration or distress, possibly physically.
And asking hard questions
Pose difficult questions that may never be answered by anyone.
No one could ever answer.
Highlighting the impossibility of receiving satisfactory answers.
His love remained strong for you, this much I know is true,
Affirming the enduring love someone had for another person.
You're wrong if you think leaving is an easy thing to do.
Challenging the notion that leaving is a simple or easy choice.
Maybe when you're older you'll finally understand...
Suggesting that understanding may come with age.
His sickness. Why he left. Was never part of the plan.
Explaining that the departure and reasons were unexpected.
Tough decisions made in the blink of an eye,
Speculating on why people leave abruptly without saying goodbye.
Maybe that's why they leave without saying goodbye.
Linking the quick decisions to the lack of goodbyes.
You were worth staying for,
Pointing to evidence of love through the struggle.
Proof in the way he fought this war,
Stating that the challenges became overwhelming.
It just became too much,
Emphasizing that it wasn't merely quitting or giving up.
It wasn't just quitting or just giving up.
(No specific meaning provided in the lyrics.)
Who can really know the weight...
Questioning who can truly understand the burden of leaving.
Of leaving when you want to stay?
Expressing the difficulty of comprehending the weight.
Who can truly know the weight...
Reiterating the challenge of understanding the weight.
You don't understand this weight. I can't stay.
Declaring an inability to stay due to the weight.
Who can really know the weight,
Repeating the question of who can truly know the weight.
Of leaving when you just can't stay?
Reflecting on the weight of leaving when one cannot stay.
Of leaving when you just can't stay?
Repeating the concept of leaving when one cannot stay.
Now you get to tell their story,
Assigning the responsibility of telling someone's story to another.
So, will you tell their story?
Prompting the question of whether the story will be told.
...Not like this,
Rejecting a particular manner of telling the story.
This wasn't how it was supposed to be,
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs.
But now you get to tell their story.
Reiterating the opportunity to tell someone's story despite the circumstances.
Tough decisions made in the blink of an eye,
Recalling tough decisions made quickly, possibly connecting to earlier lines.
Maybe that's why they leave without saying goodbye.
Repeating the idea that quick decisions lead to departures without goodbyes.
