Weight
Navigating Shadows: Unveiling the Emotional Journey in 'Weight' by The Things We Were
Lyrics
I’ve been running from it
I've been avoiding a certain issue or problem
Does this house seem haunted today
Is the atmosphere of this house eerie or unsettling today?
It’s too late
It's too late to address or fix something
I never thought I wanted
I never thought I desired
To watch it all come falling to me
To witness everything collapsing around me
Cause lately
Recently
I’ve been coming along
I've been making progress
Forgetting it’s hard
Forgetting is difficult
Pulling the weight
Bearing the burden or responsibility
And falling apart
Falling apart emotionally
But I’ll find a way
But I will discover a solution
While you slip away
While you (someone) gradually leave or withdraw
But you’ve been pulling me down
You have been dragging me down
And all of the time
All of the time
Fooling me once
Deceiving me once
And fooling me twice
And deceiving me twice
While you slip away
While you gradually leave
I’ll find a way to be okay
I will find a way to be okay
Take back what you’ve given me
Reclaim what you have given me
Told myself that I’d let it be
Told myself that I would allow it to be
Cause there’s just something about this
Because there's something captivating about this
The hand on your mouth is screaming
The restraint or suppression is causing internal turmoil
I’ve been meaning to say
I've been intending to express
My heads not where I wanna be
My mind is not in the place I desire
My hands tied to your misery
My actions are connected to your suffering
But there’s been nothing without this
But there has been nothing meaningful without this
You were never about this
You were never dedicated to this
I’m feeling like I’m falling away
I feel like I am drifting away
I’m calling your name
I am calling your name
Got lost in your pain
Got lost in your suffering
If I begged you to stay
If I pleaded with you to remain
Would you stay
Would you stay?
I’ve been coming along
I've been making progress
Forgetting it’s hard
Forgetting is difficult
Pulling the weight
Bearing the burden or responsibility
And falling apart
Falling apart emotionally
But I’ll find a way
But I will discover a solution
While you slip away
While you (someone) gradually leave or withdraw
But you’ve been pulling me down
You have been dragging me down
And all of the time
All of the time
Fooling me once
Deceiving me once
And fooling me twice
And deceiving me twice
While you slip away
While you gradually leave
I’ll find a way to be okay
I will find a way to be okay
