The Weight We Carry 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Stitched into the lining of your coat I found a note that said

Breathe slow when the sun goes down

Hold my hand until it comes around

I know you've been carrying something heavy for years

And every step you take is through all the fears

Your eyes still shine like headlights on the road

So we're not moving fast, but we don't need to go

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it lifting off your chest?

Every weight that's been trying to find a nest

It's not just us, it's every single soul

Moving slow with nothing left to hold

Chorus

We carry what we can no more

The weight is mine, the sun comes for

I won't let go of this heavy thing

I'll let you walk through it like a river king

We carry what we can no more

This floor is yours and I'm not sure if I've been here before

Verse

You're still wearing that same old watch with the broken strap

Every night we dance until your hands start to cramp

I know you used to think that love was something that came with a name

But right now it's just this steady, quiet flame

You say every step is one more mile away from all of it

And I believe you, even though I've never felt like quitting yet

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it lifting off your chest?

Every weight that's been trying to find a nest

It's not just us, it's every single soul

Moving slow with nothing left to hold

Chorus

We carry what we can no more

The weight is mine, the sun comes for

I won't let go of this heavy thing

I'll let you walk through it like a river king

We carry what we can no more

This floor is yours and I'm not sure if I've been here before

Bridge

No map to read, just the sound of our own feet

Every hour that passes feels like years of sleep

Maybe love isn't something you find but something that climbs up through your chest when it knows you need it most

So don't look back at what we used to be

Just let me hold this space for you and me

Chorus

We carry what we can no more

The weight is mine, the sun comes for

I won't let go of this heavy thing

I'll let you walk through it like a river king

We carry what we can no more

This floor is yours and I'm not sure if I've been here before
