Under the Weight of You

I catch your name in the quiet of my room

Like a match I couldn't light but couldn't lose

Every little shadow still looks like you

And every sleepless hour cuts deeper through

I try to fold the night into my hands

Try to stand where all our broken pieces land

But the more I hold on, the more I break

And my silence shakes

So I've let it crash, let it fall apart

Let the sound of us two straight through my heart

I was barely breathing

Now I'm breaking wide open

Under the weight of you

Under the weight of you

And if love is a fire that I'm gurgling through

I keep reaching for the ache I knew

Now the whole world reasons when I say your name

And I don't know how to carry the pain

Under the weight of you

There were winter mornings and the steam on the glass

Promises we made that never learned to last

Now the rooms all let go with what we couldn't say

A thousand little endings in a single day

I try to fold the night into my hands

Try to stand where all our broken pieces land

But the more I hold on, the more I break

And the silence shakes

So I let it crash, let it fall apart

Let the sound of us tear straight through my heart

I was barely breathing

Now I'm breaking wide open

Under the weight of you

Under the weight of you

And if love is a fire, then I burn clean through

I keep reaching for the ache I knew

Now the whole world rises when I say your name

And I don't know how to carry the pain

Under the weight of you

And if I scream into the dark tonight

Will the echoes give me back my life?

Will the strings lift me out of this wreckage?

Or pull me under?

Pull me under

So I let it crash, let it fall apart

Let the sound of his tears straight to my heart

I was barely breathing

Now I'm breaking wide open

Under the weight of you

Under the weight of you

With the last snow climbing, I'll release the proof

That I can survive what I can't undo

If I leave you behind, I may lose the pain

But I finally hear my own name

Under the weight of you
