[Verse 1] I used to be so wild. Getting kicks and rebel vibes. Easy cash. No red carpets, no flash. Often on the run. Sometimes having fun. Sweet moments few. We stumbled through hell. Got a reputation as well – They called me a nice guy, with some bad friends, wish it was true. [Chorus] The weight is heavy, baby, it’s heavy, it’s not easy. The weight is heavy, baby, it’s heavy, it’s not easy. [Verse 2] I went too far, but not far enough. I managed to pull out, but I waited too long. I’ve got stories that won’t be song, Some darker than Hollywood – some break your heart, I try not to remember. There’s things nobody knows, and nobody ever, ever will. [Chorus] The weight is heavy, baby, it’s heavy, it’s not easy. The weight is heavy, baby, it’s heavy, it’s not easy. [Bridge] With yesterday on my shoulders, I became no one. Hidden away. With chains and pains. Alone with no dreams. It’s dark, but I know I have to stay. [Verse 3] There is a light. She’s kind of my romance. She shines bright, even from a distance. [Verse 4] I have seen things you don’t want to see. I have memories too hard to carry. Always lonely, except with her. In a crowded place I stand out, trying to hide. I get stressed by things that don’t mean a thing. I can’t start healing – I guess it’s for a reason. [Chorus] The weight is heavy, baby, it’s heavy, it’s not easy. [Verse 5] Getting high to make the pain in my mind hide away, make the hours pass, sleep through the morning light. Then make up some crazy shit just to see her smile. I don’t want my last breath to be soon anymore. I wanna see if you’ll be with me – free on my Greek balcony, listening to Rastaman, feeling loved. Crazy stories and soft drinks, some joints for me and wine for you, frozen grapes and heartbeats. Hide away with me ,at least for a while. [Final Verse] I know I won’t get to heaven. It’s breaking my heart. But I accept my fate. I kind of chose my path, and it became narrow, and I fell astray – on the lonely highway. [Outro – fade out] The weight is heavy, baby, it’s heavy, it’s not easy. The weight is heavy, baby, it’s heavy, it’s not easy.
