Lighter Than Before

Lyrics

Didn’t see it coming

Used to wear the world on my backTrying to fix every crack

Every wrong turn, every goodbyeKeeping me up every night

Thought if I held on long enoughMaybe I could hold it up

Didn’t know the strongest moveWas learning what to lose

One day I looked around

I’m lighter than beforeI don’t feel it anymore

Used to carry all that weightNow I leave it at the door

What used to hold me downDon’t hold me down no more

I didn’t see it comingI’m lighter than before

Used to think it was my jobTo save things when they fell apart

Used to think if I stayed long enoughI could change somebody’s heart

Funny how the healing cameWhen I stopped playing that game

Some things aren’t yours to saveSome things just fade away

One day I let it go

I’m lighter than beforeI don’t feel it anymore

Used to carry all that weightNow I leave it at the door

What used to hold me downDon’t hold me down no more

I didn’t see it comingI’m lighter than before

I stopped fighting thingsI couldn’t change

Stopped standing in the rain

Funny how the sun comes outWhen you finally walk away

I’m lighter than beforeI don’t feel it anymore

Used to carry all that weightNow I leave it at the door

What used to hold me downDon’t hold me down no more

I didn’t see it comingI’m lighter than before

Lighter than before
