You were saying 
That everytime you fail to make a difference 
You make this promise to yourself 
To stop your craving 
For being what they want, and stop behaving 
Like you're something you are not 

Coz' I can't carry your weight 
I can't carry your weight.. 

You were saying, 
That you are running out of good excuses 
So you found a place to hide beneath your blanket 
You stayed there for a while, you tossed your phone right out the window 
Like a quiet little lie 

And I can't carry your weight 
I can't carry your weight 

It's what you do, not what you're going through - that counts.. 

I was thinking 
That when you could find the time, 
We should go out drinking 
We could dance all through the night, 
or we could play old albums 
just to see if they still match our expectations 
or the ones we used to hear 

But I can't carry your weight 
I can't carry your weight.. 

It's what you do, not what they put you through - that counts.. 

-instrumental pause- 

I can't carry your weight 
I can't carry your weight 
I can't carry your weight 
I can't carry your weight 

It's what you do, not what you're going through - that counts..
