[Verse 1] I keep checking my hands Like they broke the room Like I walked in wrong And stole your good mood I talk, then I flinch Like I owe the air Every room gets cold When I know I'm there I know I lean too hard I know I take up space Like a cracked-up chair In a perfect place And when you hold me close I start to pull apart 'Cause I can't believe You'd want this kind of heart [Pre-Chorus] Tell me why you stay When I feel like this Why your softest touch Hits me like a fist I don't know how to be What love should keep I was built on doubt And it runs too deep [Chorus] I'm a weight you carry I'm a weight you carry Why would you choose me? Why would you choose me? Don't hold me too gently I might break the truth I don't feel worthy I don't feel worthy of you [Verse 2] I replay your words Like they got a flaw Waiting for the crack In the way you saw If I make you laugh I think it's for now If you say "I'm here" I don't know how To let it in To let it stay My mind turns kindness Into debt I pay I hate that I need What I can't repay So I shrink myself And I fade away [Pre-Chorus] Tell me why you stay When I feel like this Why your warm little hands Make my chest go still I don't know how to be What love should keep I was built on doubt And it runs too deep [Chorus] I'm a weight you carry I'm a weight you carry Why would you choose me? Why would you choose me? Don't hold me too gently I might break the truth I don't feel worthy I don't feel worthy of you [Bridge] If love is clean Then I'm all stain If love is grace Then I'm all blame But you still reach Through all my wreck Like something pure I can't reject Maybe I don't Deserve that light Maybe I do And I'm just terrified [Final Chorus] I'm a weight you carry I'm a weight you carry Why would you choose me? Why would you choose me? Don't hold me too gently I might break the truth I don't feel worthy I don't feel worthy of you I'm a weight you carry I'm a weight you carry But you keep saying I'm worth loving too
