Laughing it off whilest youre thinking
It comes bubbling up from underneath like your sinking
Under the weight of all that life has thrown at you
Cos i know right now it just feels like every little movement
Is two steps back but its still an improvement
I wonder how you manage to do the things you do
Cos fayer some consideration i see the situation
has got you slowly breaking and the toll its taking
Makes me wonder how you manage to resist
And i know
Theres a weight on all of us and even more on you but trust me
I love the way youvve carried yourself through this
And if your hearts not ready to take
All of the weight well will it break
And leave you standing here alone and abandoned by the side of the road?
And if your hearts not ready to take all of the things still in your way
I can join you,misery loves company,at least thats what Im told
You need the proper preparation for the situation
I know its not a word we like to use
But you must learn to kill this conversation dead
Cos it'll have you sinking lower,lower than my IQ
Its the same thing I do every time I let my tired heart get the better of my head
Cos I can see that this commotions got you walking broken,
Crippled by emotions,holding on to tokens of a thing that already promises not to fade
And I know
Theres a weight on all of us and even more on you but trust me
I love the way youve carried yourself today
And if your hearts not ready to take
All of the weight well will it break
And leave you standing here alone and abandoned by the side of the road?
And if your hearts not ready to take all of the things still in your way
I can join you,misery loves company,at least thats what Im told
So if repeating "how could you?" - well if thats all that youve got to say
Well then screaming "I love you" is just a device that gets in your way
And if your hearts not ready to take
All of the weight well will it break
And leave you standing here alone and abandoned by the side of the road?
And if your hearts not ready to take all of the things still in your way
I can join you,misery loves company,at least thats what Im told
