I always kind of saw this song as being from Jesus' POV. Maybe it's with me being a Christian, but I seem to find religious meanings for majority of Collective Soul's songs.
"Complicate this world you wrapped for me
I'm acquainted with your suffering"
This could be Jesus speaking to God in the first line with how God sent his Son to this world to help us. The 2nd line is about how Jesus understands our sufferings and can help us through them.
"And all your weight
It falls on me
It brings me down
And all your weight
It falls on me
It falls on me"
That's pretty much what we should do as Christians. Give our worries to Jesus, and he'll take care of them for us.
"Hold me up to all whom you've deceived
Promises you break you still believe"
This pretty much says that we should hold Jesus up and speak of him to non-believers. It will help spread the Gospel. Then even if we are sinners, Jesus will forgive us if we ask and decide to change.
