Lyrics
Intro
Oh oh
Mmm
Chorus
Sorry for the heavy weight
For the holes I left inside
For the dreams I threw away
While you both tried and tried
I was never who you wanted
Just a shadow on the wall
Sorry that I couldn't stand
When you watched me start to fall
Verse 1
Burden on your back
Carried all my secrets while I lived in black
Missing every mark
Left you both to wander through the bitter dark
Waste of all my time
Waiting for a mountain I could never climb
Forgive the messy end
Hardest part was losing you my oldest friend
Pre-Chorus
I am watching
I am waiting
I am finally calm
Chorus
Sorry for the heavy weight
For the holes I left inside
For the dreams I threw away
While you both tried and tried
I was never who you wanted
Just a shadow on the wall
Sorry that I couldn't stand
When you watched me start to fall
Bridge
Look up at the white moon
I'll see you in the garden
I'll see you in the kitchen
I'll see you in the quiet
Pulling all the weeds out
Keeping every porch light on for you
Pre-Chorus
I am watching
I am waiting
I am finally calm
Chorus
Sorry for the heavy weight
For the holes I left inside
For the dreams I threw away
While you both tried and tried
I was never who you wanted
Just a shadow on the wall
Sorry that I couldn't stand
When you watched me start to fall
Chorus
Sorry for the heavy weight
For the holes I left inside
For the dreams I threw away
While you both tried and tried
I was never who you wanted
Just a shadow on the wall
Sorry that I couldn't stand
When you watched me start to fall
