Heavyweight Lyrics by Cate

Love, the Madness

2020

[Verse 1]
I saw you last week for the first time
You look so free without me on your mind
You always said I was reckless
Called me "too much to take in"
I thought of the night that we caved in
You gave up quick and I get it
I fought like a hero on a bender
You said I'm a poor contender

[Chorus]
And I tried to play the heavyweight
Put up a front
Like I could take anything
But it wasn't enough
For me to shake this feeling
The thought of you thinking
I'm just a heavy weight
Was I just a heavy weight?
Oh, was I just heavy weight? Mm
Was I just heavy weight? Mm

[Verse 2]
It was the night you picked me up when I was all alone
You told me you were scared I was out of control
I'm sorry I was so reckless
Remember when you used to like this
It was the night that we swam in your neighbour's pool
Pretending we were sharks, let me hang off you
Dove too deep in the shallow
You cleaned my bloody teeth in the bathroom

[Chorus]
And I tried to play the heavyweight
Put up a front
Like I could take anything
But it wasn't enough
For me to shake this feeling
The thought of you thinking
I'm just a heavy weight
Was I just a heavy weight?
Oh, was I just a heavy weight? Mm
Was I just a heavy weight? Mm

[Bridge]
I could tell that you were tired trying to keep afloat
Maybe I'm just better off being on my own

[Chorus]
And I tried to play the heavyweight
Put up a front
Like I could take anything
But it wasn't enough
For me to shake this feeling
The thought of you thinking
I'm just a heavy weight
Was I just a heavy weight?
Oh, was I just a heavy weight? Mm

[Outro]
(Heavy weight, heavy weight, heavy weight)
Mm
(Heavy weight, heavy weight, heavy weight)
Was I just a heavy weight?
(Heavy weight, heavy weight, heavy weight)
Mm
(Heavy weight, heavy weight, heavy weight)
Was I just a heavy weight?
(Heavy weight, heavy weight, heavy weight)
Mm
(Heavy weight, heavy weight, heavy weight)
Was I just your heavyweight?
(Heavy weight, heavy weight, heavy weight)
Mm
Was I just a heavy weight? Mm
Was I just your heavyweight? Mm
