[Verse 1:]
This is enough now, says the shape of your brow
The salts on your cheeks and the way that you're lookin' down
I know that you know why you were not the first
From the depths of my heart, I really hope that you're the last
[Pre-Chorus:]
I know this means more than the truth we have
Had I not held on to the truth for so long…
What should have been a simple yes or no
For you has become somethin' that you can't stop
[Chorus:]
Now you're carryin' the weights home
Mistakes, emotions that we've not thought through
And I'm sorry for the burden
Of lessons I would not have without you
[Verse 2:]
I saw this picture long before it was drawn
Does that mean I should have never walked through the bedroom door?
This potion passed love, long after it was born
Does that mean you could live on without the cure?
[Pre-Chorus:]
I know this means more than the truth we have
Had I not held on to the truth for so long…
What should have been a simple yes or no
For you has become somethin' that you can't stop
[Chorus:]
Now you're carryin' the weights home
Mistakes, emotions that we've not thought through
And I'm sorry for the burden
Of lessons I would not have without you
