Oh I must have been a child
She looked me dead into the eyes
And told me how I’m boring when I’m quiet
I still think of New Year’s Eve
He told me what he thought of me
And I work it ‘round my head like it’s a night shift
It fills the space in my head
It’s the weight on my chest
Crying over little things
Flying home to family
Set the table for the past I bring along
Still feel like a little kid
And I get so damn sensitive
You say nothing rather than say something wrong
If only I could take your pain
All this fighting goes to waste
You say these stones you carry ‘round
All they do is bring you down
I can see the way you keep your head above the water now
Darling, open up your hand
And let go of those you had
Here’s the only one that you will need to carry on from now
When I spin out of control
And I’m racing ‘round my thoughts
I remember all the words that got me out of this before
It fills the space in my head
It’s the weight on my chest
You say these stones you carry ‘round
All they do is bring you down
I can see the way you keep your head above the water now
Darling, open up your hand
And let go of those you had
Here’s the only one that you will need to carry on from now
Fills the space in my head
Lifts the weight on my chest
Fills the space in my head
Lifts the weight on my chest
You say these stones you carry ‘round
All they do is bring you down
I can see the way you keep your head above the water now
