Dead Weight

I missed the humor in your voice last night
I was busy sorting truth from lies
I honestly, recklessly, wanted to believe you
I fought so hard to keep you here
Convinced our passion was profound
Until I realized you were just dead weight I’d been
Carrying around
Dead weight,
Dead weight,
Dead weight
Dead weight,
Dead weight,
Dead weight
I know the symptoms, I can see them in your eyes,
Don’t act so surprised, like you could fool me,
I know the signs, the nervous hands and creasing lines,
Fleeting glances, anxious sighs
I fought so hard to keep you here
Convinced our passion was profound
Until I realized you were just dead weight I’d been
Carrying around
Dead weight,
Dead weight,
Dead weight
Dead weight,
Dead weight,
Dead weight
I fought so hard to keep you here
Convinced our passion was profound
Until I realized you were just dead weight I’d been
Carrying around
Dead weight,
Dead weight,
Dead weight
Dead weight,
Dead weight,
Dead weight
