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
