Verse 1 I see the shadows on the wall, They follow everywhere I go. A choice I made, a word I said, Still echoes louder than you know. I try to leave it in the past, But every night it finds me there, A memory I can't outrun, A burden that's too hard to bear. Pre-Chorus If I could turn back time somehow, I'd change the path I took back then. But all that's left are silent thoughts And wishing I could make amends. Chorus 'Cause I'm carrying this weight, And it's getting hard to breathe. Every mistake I've ever made Feels tangled up in me. I never meant to cause this pain, I never meant to let you down. But guilt is like a storm inside That keeps on pulling me down. Verse 2 I hear your voice inside my head, The way things used to be before. I wonder if you'll ever know How much I've thought about it all. The hardest thing is facing up To all the damage that I've done. No excuses left to hide behind, No place left to run. Pre-Chorus I'd give anything to take it back, To erase the hurt I made. But all I have is honesty And the debt I haven't paid. Chorus 'Cause I'm carrying this weight, And it's getting hard to breathe. Every mistake I've ever made Feels tangled up in me. I never meant to cause this pain, I never meant to let you down. But guilt is like a storm inside That keeps on pulling me down. Bridge Maybe healing starts with truth, Maybe change begins today. I can't undo what happened then, But I can learn from my mistakes. Final Chorus I'm carrying this weight, But I won't let it define me. I'll face the things I've done before And become who I should be. The past will always be a part Of every lesson that I've found. And though the guilt still lingers here, I won't let it drag me down.
