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.
