lyrics

LYRICS:

I know i’m not alone in this
that you’re misreading it by reading it
in your own way
that you still care for me
like that day when you
drifted away slowly then fast
from your own safe place
straight into my embrace
brought all his stuff nicely packed up in a suitcase

but I

CHORUS
didn’t wanna carry the load
for the both of us
didn’t wanna deal with both
your weaknesses and mine
over critical of my wrongs
unforgiving of yours
couldn’t carry the load for the both of us

my shoulders were up high
you lean on them
and took the tension away
always held myself
from saying what I really meant
for overthinking every step
for holding back who I really am
spines removed to welcome your caress
smoothly over my scars
as far back as my memory goes
startled with your touch
brought back for healing

but I

CHORUS
didn’t wanna carry the load
for the both of us
didn’t wanna deal with both
your weaknesses and mine
over critical of my wrongs
unforgiving of yours
couldn’t carry the load for the both of us

OUTRO
couldn’t no no
couldn’t yeah yeah (on repeat)
as I stand before u
I place a wall but you’re looking through
looks like a mirror, but
seems invisible
it’s nothing but distance
that we create in vain
couldn’t no no
couldn’t yeah yeah
