I held your dreams when mine were breaking Built your world while mine was shaking Carried your silence through endless nights Swallowed my voice to keep the fight light I painted smiles on a canvas of pain Wore your storms like they were rain Gave you the air from my own lungs While my own song went unsung Every secret, every scar I wore them like they were my own Every battle, every war I stood beside you all alone But no one saw how heavy hearts Can turn a body into stone And no one knew the weight it takes To always carry what’s not yours to hold The weight I carried Almost buried me alive Holding pieces that were never mine The weight I carried Taught me how to say goodbye I let it fall, I left it all behind I traced your footsteps in the dark Forgot the rhythm of my heart Held the mirror so you’d see But it never once reflected me I kept the fire while you burned it out Gave you faith while I drowned in doubt I wore the crown of your regrets And lost myself with each debt I met Every promise that you broke I kept it tied inside my chest Every word you left unspoken Became the chains across my breath But no one saw how heavy hearts Can turn a body into stone And no one knew the weight it takes To always carry what’s not yours to hold The weight I carried Almost buried me alive Holding pieces that were never mine The weight I carried Taught me how to say goodbye I let it fall, I left it all behind [soft, rising] Now I walk lighter, with empty hands No chains, no shadows, no broken plans I finally see the sky is wide And I don’t need your load to climb The weight I carried Almost buried me alive Holding pieces that were never mine The weight I carried Taught me how to say goodbye I let it fall, I left it all behind I let it fall… (fall... fall... fall...) (fall... fall... fall...) (fall... fall... fall...) I left it all behind. (all behind... behind... behind...)
