Charley Woods - Extra Weight Lyrics

      

Extra Weight
by Charley Woods

Verse 1
Some of them cheated, one cheated twice
Some of them moved me and some never tried
One said 'I love you' two weeks shy of 'goodbye'
Most got married and all of them lied

 ​Pre-Chorus
Hear me when I say I don't want it to be this way
No I can't carry
Everybody else's hurt when mine's enough to make it burn
It's just too heavy

 ​Chorus
All I wanna do is fly away
But there's too much baggage underneath this plane
It's nothing I want to claim
But somehow I'm to blame for all this extra weight

 ​Verse 2
She was my best friend since seventh grade
Until she decided I just got in the way
Most girls never liked me and some were just mean
Always projecting their own insecurities

 ​Pre-Chorus
Hear me when I say I don't want it to be this way
No I can't carry
Everybody else's hurt when mine's enough to make it burn
It's just too heavy

 ​Chorus
All I wanna do is fly away
But there's too much baggage underneath this plane
It's nothing I want to claim
But somehow I'm to blame for all this extra weight

 ​Bridge
I never asked for this
Or to hold onto it
Yet somehow here it is
Stealing my happiness

 ​Verse 3
Nobody's perfect, everybody needs help
Breaking the cycles and taking care of our own mental health
Because some of the worst cards we don't know we're dealt
Until we go deal them out to somebody else

Pre-Chorus
Hear me when I say I don't want it to be this way
No I can't carry
Everybody else's hurt when mine's enough to make it burn
It's just too heavy

 ​Chorus
All I wanna do is fly away
But there's too much baggage underneath this plane
It's nothing I want to claim
But somehow I'm to blame for all this extra weigh
