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
