The weight on my shoulders Lyrics by Elle Longstaff

don’t let me go

2023

[Verse 1]
My chest is closing in
And I can’t feel anything
Pinch me, am I dreaming?
These moments I keep on stealing
From somebody else
I’m not myself
[Pre-Chorus]
My reflection, her short attention
She can’t look me in the eyes
Can’t remember if I lied
If I did, I apologise
[Chorus]
The weight on my shoulders
Add another pound
‘Cause lately I found
That I’m so much older
Than I thought I was
Where did this come from?
It weighs me down
I’m grounded now
It weighs me down
With no way out
[Verse 2]
My walls are tumbling
And you just watch as they come crashing down
Your silence is so loud
Who needs someone else
When you have yourself?
My reflection’s never lied
But a photo makes me cry
I pick apart all the features
That don’t look like what I dreamed of
[Chorus]
The weight on my shoulders (weight on my shoulders)
Add another pound
Cause lately I’ve found
That I’m so much older (that I’m so much older)
Han I thought I was
Where did this come from?
It weighs me down
I’m grounded now
It weighs me down
With no way out
[Bridge]
I miss when everything was easy
And I had no responsibility
I miss when everything was anything but this
Can’t say I don’t miss
Running ’round the kitchen on a Thursday night
And we promised not to argue, but we’d always fight
About something insignificant
But we were so persistant
That we were right
And it’s on my mind
