The Weight (Live) lyrics

[Live Intro]
Hello everybody
How you guys feeling tonight?
This is absolutely insane right now, thank you so much for coming out
I have this little sing-along part just sing along with me, alright?

[Intro]
Woah-oah-oah, now you sing (Woah-oah-oah)
Woah-oah-ooah, sing it out (Woah-oah-ooah)
Woah-oah-oahh yeah, sing it (Woah-oah-oahh)
Woah-oah-ooahh, scream it! (Woah-oah-ooahh)

[Verse 1]
I want to go back, forget that it's over, yeah
Paint it in black, when you left me alone
I never knew, she was sleeping next door with the kid I grew up with
And I can't go back to her, no, anymore, no more
Sing it!

[Chorus]
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
All you guys!
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
But I can't lift the weight
I can't lift the weight, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Put you in the past, try to forget you cause it's over
And every time you ask I'll pretend I'm okay-yay
You're inside my head, all you guys!
In the middle of the night, when I don't feel right
I dream I can hold you
And I can't go back to you, yeah, anymore, no more

[Chorus]
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
Sing!
But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
But, I can't lift the weight, I can't lift the weight, yeah

[Bridge]
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakes
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight

[Chorus]
You tell me you were happier with him
But you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you
You push me away, but then you try to take it back
Say someday you might change, but I don't wanna wait
[Live Outro]
I love you guys, thank you!
