Lyrics
0:12I want to go back forget that it's over
0:18Painted in black when you left me alone
0:24I never knew she was sleeping next door
0:27With the kid I grew up with
0:30And I can't go back to her
0:33Anymore no more
0:38You tell me you were happier within
0:42You want me to stay
0:43And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
0:49But then you try to take me back
0:52My heavy heart just breaks
0:55No I can't lift the weight
1:02Put you in the past try to forget you cause it's over
1:08And every time you ask I'll pretend I'm okay
1:14You're in my head
1:16In the middle of the night when I don't feel right
1:18I dream I can hold you
1:20And I can't go back to you anymore yeah yeah
1:28You tell me you were happier within
1:31You want me to stay
1:33And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
1:39But then you try to take me back
1:42My heavy heart just breaks
1:44But I can't lift the weight and I can't lift the weight
1:51And I can't lift the weigh no I can't life the weight
1:54Yeah you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
1:57And I can't lift the weigh
1:58No I can't life the weight
1:59Yeah you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
2:03And I can't lift the weigh
2:04No I can't life the weight
2:05Yeah you lower your standards and I raise the stakes
2:08And I can't lift the weigh
2:10No I can't life the weight
2:15You tell me you were happier within but you want me to stay
2:20And you tell me that you needed time but you
2:24You push me away
2:26But then you try to take it back
2:29My heavy heart just breaks
2:31But I can't lift the weight
2:34And I can't lift the weight
2:38You tell me you were happier within
2:42You want me to stay
2:44You told me that you needed time but you
2:47You push me away
2:49And then you try to take me back
2:52Say someday you will change
2:55But I don't wanna wait
I want to go back forget that it's over Painted in black when you left me alone I never knew she was sleeping next door With the kid I grew up with And I can't go back to her Anymore no more You tell me you were happier within You want me to stay And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away But then you try to take me back My heavy heart just breaks No I can't lift the weight Put you in the past try to forget you cause it's over And every time you ask I'll pretend I'm okay You're in my head In the middle of the night when I don't feel right I dream I can hold you And I can't go back to you anymore yeah yeah You tell me you were happier within You want me to stay And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away But then you try to take me back My heavy heart just breaks But I can't lift the weight and I can't lift the weight And I can't lift the weigh no I can't life the weight Yeah you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks And I can't lift the weigh No I can't life the weight Yeah you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks And I can't lift the weigh No I can't life the weight Yeah you lower your standards and I raise the stakes And I can't lift the weigh No I can't life the weight You tell me you were happier within but you want me to stay And you tell me that you needed time but you You push me away But then you try to take it back My heavy heart just breaks But I can't lift the weight And I can't lift the weight You tell me you were happier within You want me to stay You told me that you needed time but you You push me away And then you try to take me back Say someday you will change But I don't wanna wait
