The Weakness Lyrics

Have you been waiting here a long time?
The traffic sucks on the Northside
Did you order yet or should we wait?
How are you doing, are you okay?
No matter what I hope you don't forget
We don't give in to the weakness
We don't give in to the weakness
I woke up dreaming of her face again
I hate the way I miss her torment
I've come this far I know I can't forget
We don't give in to the weakness
And I just wanna lose control
I wanna fly like I've never flown
And I just wanna lose control
I wanna feel like I've never known
Fuck that guy he's just a piece of shit
We don't give in to the weakness
Just let it go and it all will end
We don't give in to the weakness
We don't give in to the weakness
We don't give in to the weakness
We don't give in to the weakness

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.

This is a story of a man trying to “keep it together” after a breakup. He oscillates between rage and peace, always coming back to the mantra “we don’t give in to the weakness” a line delivered brilliantly by Ruston in a near whispered register. The outburst in the second half of the song is raw and unfiltered, just like he said he wanted: “I just wanna lose control, I wanna fly like I’ve never flown” While the lyrics of this song are rather straightforward, the songwriting is layered in brilliance. The mid-tempo droning downbeats are the perfect choice for a song that repeats a mantra. The vocal range showcased is tied to the emotional range of the lyrics. From the small talk with the ex in the first verse, to the internal battles, this is a relatable song for many who have been through a tough breakup.
