Hello everybody
How you guys feelin' tonight?

This is absolutely insane right now
Thank you so much for comin' out

I'd be happy to see the singalong crowd
Just sing along with me, alright

Whoa, now you sing (whoa)
Whoa-oh, sing it out (whoa-oh)

Whoa, yeah, sing
Whoa-oh, scream it

I want to go back
Forget that it's over, yeah
It's painted in black
When you left me alone, nah
No I never knew, she was sleeping next door
With the kid I grew up with
And I can't go back tp her, no, anymore, no, sing

You tell me you were happier with him, but 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
I can't lift the weight, oh, yeah

Put you in the past
Try to forget you 'cause it's over
And every time you ask
I pretend I'm okay
You're inside my head, now you guys
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, yeah anymore
No

You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time, but you push me away, sing
But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
But, I can't lift the weight
I can't lift the weight, yeah

And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakes
No I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight

You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you, but you push me away
But then you try to take me back
Say, someday you might change, but I don't wanna wait
I love you guys, thank you
