The weight of the world
Is pulling on this rope
I pull it away slowly
Afraid I may choke
I wish you would go
I wish you would leave my mind
I see your face at night
And your words so unkind
The chair under my feet it teeters
I stand here the noose grows taut
All the things you should have been
And all the things you are not
On the edge of an emotion
At the edge of your world
Where did I go wrong
Why were you that kind of girl
I cannot drown these voices
That swirl inside my head
I hate your eyes that devastate
And stare at me lifeless and dead
The weight is growing
Someone ease this pain
Let this rope unravel
Help me feel alive again
If I should make it
Will you finally be laid to rest
Will I ever stop feeling this agony
Can I ever be my best
Am I forever at your mercy
Kneeling at your feet
Forever at bended knee
Bruised and broken and beat
Please lift this weight
From off my shoulders
Why must it take this long
Time it passes and I grow older
