You Were Saying Lyrics

You were saying
That everytime you fail to make a difference
You make this promise to yourself
To stop your craving
For being what they want, and stop behaving
Like you're something you are not
Coz' I can't carry your weight
I can't carry your weight..

You were saying,
That you are running out of good excuses
So you found a place to hide beneath your blanket
You stayed there for a while, you tossed your phone right out the window
Like a quiet little lie

And I can't carry your weight
I can't carry your weight
It's what you do, not what you're going through - that counts..

I was thinking
That when you could find the time,
We should go out drinking
We could dance all through the night,
or we could play old albums
just to see if they still match our expectations
or the ones we used to hear
But I can't carry your weight
I can't carry your weight..

It's what you do, not what they put you through - that counts..

-instrumental pause-

I can't carry your weight
I can't carry your weight
I can't carry your weight
I can't carry your weight

It's what you do, not what you're going through - that counts..
