The Weight Lyrics

Waves have washed me upon your shore
Smooth seas didn't make me a good sailor
I've been living with you
Within a dream that came alive
On the side

Caving in on myself
Venturing deeper within me
I've been eager to pull
To pull out the thorn in my side
To feel alive

Waiting for the call that breaks these walls
Painting these halls with the weight of it all

Be the one you want to know the most
I weigh me down just to pick me up
I'll show you me like you want me to be
The weight has made me blind

Leaving it all in open for all the world to see
I'm showing me hope to make me last
The dark haunts my presence and have erased my past
Still the melody in my heart chimed on...
Chimed on...
Chimed on...
It chimed the right tone

I've been waiting for the call that'll break these walls
Painting these halls with the weight of it all

Be the one you want to know the most
I weigh me down just to pick me up
I'll show you me like you want me to be
The weight has made me blind
Oh, so blind
I'll show you me like you want me to be
Love has made me blind

Waves have washed me upon your shore
Smooth seas didn't make me a good sailor
I've been living with you
Within a dream that came alive
On the side

Caving in on myself
Venturing deeper within me
I've been eager to pull
To pull out the thorn in my side
To feel alive

Waiting for the call that breaks these walls
Painting these halls with the weight of it all

Be the one you want to know the most
I weigh me down just to pick me up
I'll show you me like you want me to be
The weight has made me blind

Leaving it all in open for all the world to see
I'm showing me hope to make me last
The dark haunts my presence and have erased my past
Still the melody in my heart chimed on...
Chimed on...
Chimed on...
It chimed the right tone

I've been waiting for the call that'll break these walls
Painting these halls with the weight of it all

Be the one you want to know the most
I weigh me down just to pick me up
I'll show you me like you want me to be
The weight has made me blind
Oh, so blind
I'll show you me like you want me to be
Love has made me blind

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.
