Heavyweight

Original

Try to be the best you can be

Never mind the days you're unhappy

Put on your face, regret your mistakes

And don't forget your place

Try to lead by example

Said to me, "You can't be fragile"

Take it on the chin, repent your sins

Then scrub your skin

So you can throw me into deep water

And tell me it'll make me stronger

You throw me to the waves

Then act surprised when I need to be saved

It's a heavy weight

On a frightened face

But I can't complain

When it's just a game

Try to be a little colder

So they know they can't take over

But don't be cruel, make sure you're cool

Be the latest news

The lights went out, they won't be found

Not safe or sound, but I stay devout

You killed the joy, I felt the void

So I made some noise like a wind-up toy

So you can throw me into deep water

And tell me it'll make me stronger

You throw me to the waves

Then act surprised when I need to be saved

It's a heavy weight

On a frightened face

But I can't complain

When it's just a game

So you can throw me into deep water (la-la-la, la-la)

And tell me it'll make me stronger (la-la-la, la-la)

So you can throw me into deep water (la-la-la, la-la)

And tell me it'll make me stronger (la-la-la, la-la)
