Sink Like Lead Lyrics

I'm at a loss for words,
And I'm running out of trite catch phrases
To let you know how much you mean,
So I'll let it all come out naturally
You were there to save us when we lost it all.

(Chorus)
The weight of the world doesn't seem so heavy
With you by our side
The weight of the world doesn't seem so heavy
With you by our side
With you by our side

And I know I'll never take all of you for granted
I've been humbled by you
Stumbled across friends near and far
You may be far away but you're close at heart

(Chorus)

We're going down like anchors
We're sinking like lead, we're in over our heads
You are right there to save us when we're fading fast
And we're breaking down
You are the only reason we kick for the surface
And we keep on breathing
I don't know how we can thank you
You're screaming so loud
That you're drowning us out tonight

We're going down like anchors
We're sinking like lead, we're in over our heads
I don't know how we can thank you
You're screaming so loud
That you're drowning us out tonight
(out tonight)

I'm at a loss for words,
And I'm running out of trite catch phrases
To let you know how much you mean,
So I'll let it all come out naturally
You were there to save us when we lost it all.

(Chorus)
The weight of the world doesn't seem so heavy 
With you by our side
The weight of the world doesn't seem so heavy 
With you by our side
With you by our side

And I know I'll never take all of you for granted
I've been humbled by you
Stumbled across friends near and far
You may be far away but you're close at heart

(Chorus)

We're going down like anchors
We're sinking like lead, we're in over our heads
You are right there to save us when we're fading fast
And we're breaking down
You are the only reason we kick for the surface
And we keep on breathing
I don't know how we can thank you
You're screaming so loud
That you're drowning us out tonight

We're going down like anchors
We're sinking like lead, we're in over our heads
I don't know how we can thank you
You're screaming so loud
That you're drowning us out tonight
(out tonight)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
