[Intro]
FEver carried the weight of another?
For how loCng?
FI walk as far as they need to recover
For how loCng? (ha!)
[Verse 1]
FI want to carry a piece of who I was before
So when I hit the wall, I really hit the wall
CI want to tear away the death again
A whiter shade of fucking meth again
FI want to stick to clues, I want to come unglued
I want to shape the world to fit the way you move
COh, should I listen for a dress size?
[Verse 2]
FI owned up, I've grown up, do you remember me?
FI showed up and so what if I'm the used to be?
CI'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorry
But I'm Chappy that you're happy
This is Cno longer about me
FTrade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes
FLet him be you through your beautiful cries
Let him Chold you up so you can touch affordable skies
CLive your life just like a dream
FWithout the pain of goodbyes
CGoodbye!
[Chorus]
FEver carried the weight of another?
For how Clong?
FI walk as far as they need to recover
For how Clong?
[Verse 3]
FI been a drunk disrespectful little street punk
FUnlock the back of my trunk
FYou see, you take this bat
CAnd bash my head into the street again
CNo-ones around so I keep beating it
FPull my hair back, look me in the eye
FThere's a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy
CIt's the guilt of what reality has given me
CMaking sense of all mistakes and my stupidity
[Verse 4]
And when you're Fsick you seem to think
FYou've failed eternally
And that the people you let in are only crumbling
When you're Csick of thinking life in this recovery
CWhen my decision paved the road
That lies in front of me
FSo to my friends that even call but I don't call back
I want you deep inside my heart upon a hill
It Cseems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder
I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will
[Chorus]
FEver carried the weight of another?
For how Clong?
FI walk as far as they need to recover
For how Clong?
[Bridge]
But are we Gscared to take the ride?
Or dFare to look inFmside?
I'm floating Cfar away (far away)
I'm floating Amfar away (leaving home)
I'm floating Ffar away (so far away)
For how Clong?
[Verse 5]
CI want to learn to walk with others as an equal
CI want to treat the ones who love me with respect
I want to tell Amthe world I'll give them all a piggyback
AmAnd try to take away my negative effect
I want to Fkiss the girl, I know I'll never lie again
I want to Gcall my dad and tell him that I care
I want to Clet my mama know
CHe saved my life a thousand times
CThroughout the years he's been my friend
CWho's always there
[Outro]
FEver carried the weight of another?
For how Clong?

[Intro]

Ever carried the weight of another?

For how long?

I walk as far as they need to recover

For how long? (ha!)

[Verse 1]

I want to carry a piece of who I was before

So when I hit the wall, I really hit the wall

I want to tear away the death again

A whiter shade of fucking meth again

I want to stick to clues, I want to come unglued

I want to shape the world to fit the way you move

Oh, should I listen for a dress size?

[Verse 2]

I owned up, I've grown up, do you remember me?

I showed up and so what if I'm the used to be?

I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorry

But I'm happy that you're happy

This is no longer about me

Trade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes

Let him be you through your beautiful cries

Let him hold you up so you can touch affordable skies

Live your life just like a dream

Without the pain of goodbyes

Goodbye!

[Chorus]

Ever carried the weight of another?

For how long?

I walk as far as they need to recover

For how long?

[Verse 3]

I been a drunk disrespectful little street punk

Unlock the back of my trunk

You see, you take this bat

And bash my head into the street again

No-ones around so I keep beating it

Pull my hair back, look me in the eye

There's a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy

It's the guilt of what reality has given me

Making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity

[Verse 4]

And when you're sick you seem to think

You've failed eternally

And that the people you let in are only crumbling

When you're sick of thinking life in this recovery

When my decision paved the road

That lies in front of me

So to my friends that even call but I don't call back

I want you deep inside my heart upon a hill

It seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder

I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will

[Chorus]

Ever carried the weight of another?

For how long?

I walk as far as they need to recover

For how long?

[Bridge]

But are we scared to take the ride?

F Fm

Or dare to look inside?

I'm floating far away (far away)

I'm floating far away (leaving home)

I'm floating far away (so far away)

For how long?

[Verse 5]

I want to learn to walk with others as an equal

I want to treat the ones who love me with respect

I want to tell the world I'll give them all a piggyback

And try to take away my negative effect

I want to kiss the girl, I know I'll never lie again

I want to call my dad and tell him that I care

I want to let my mama know

He saved my life a thousand times

Throughout the years he's been my friend

Who's always there

[Outro]

Ever carried the weight of another?

For how long?
