I wake up in the silence you left behind
Still hearing all the words you never meant
Your shadow’s in the corners of my mind
Pulling me back every time I try to forget
I built my walls out of broken trust
But you found the cracks and made them bleed
Every promise turned into dust
Now I’m choking on the things I couldn’t speak
I’m under the weight of your name
Crashing down every time I breathe
I tried to escape the blame
But it’s branded into me
If loving you’s a crime
Then I’ll serve it endlessly
I’m under the weight
Yeah, the weight of your name on me
Your voice still echoes through the dark
Like a warning I refuse to hear
I keep tracing every scar
Just to prove you were ever here
Pre-Chorus
I gave you truth with shaking hands
You turned it into gasoline
Now every step feels like quicksand
And I’m burning from the in-between
I’m under the weight of your name
Crashing down every time I breathe
I tried to escape the blame
But it’s branded into me
If loving you’s a crime
Then I’ll serve it endlessly
I’m under the weight
Yeah, the weight of your name on me
(soft, almost whispered)
Say you never meant to hurt me
Say it was all in my head
(drums build, guitars swell)
But your silence says it clearly
I was just something you bled
(Final Chorus (Bigger / Higher Energy)
I’m under the weight of your name
It’s dragging me into the deep
I tried to outrun the pain
But it’s buried underneath
If letting go’s the cure
Then why can’t I feel free?
I’m under the weight
Yeah, the weight of your name on me
(half-time)
I’ll carry this alone
Till it finally breaks me free
