lyrics

I don’t feel the pull that I'm supposed to feel
And I have to ask when you read the lines do you feel just as disconnected
Or did you follow the storyline
Words fell onto your paper
But I rewrote the ending, Now I’m looking at you as a stranger, a stranger

Becoming heavy
As I’m running forward, heavy
Heavy on my shoulders, heavy

I remember when I felt lost, lost touch
That view from that big wide window made life look a little darker
And even rom the second floor, there was something in your eyes that shone through
And i look at mine, am I supposed to feel connected to you, in some way

Becoming heavy
As I’m running forward, heavy
Heavy on my shoulders, heavy

Heavy, heavy, heavy

I don’t want to know you anymore
I don’t want to know you anymore
I just want to forget what you ever taught me

Becoming heavy
As I’m running forward, heavy
Heavy on my shoulders, heavy

Heavy, as I’m moving forward, heavy
Heavy off my shoulders, heavy, heavy.
