Dead Weight
(c) 2005 RedHawkins.com

You wouldn't carry me home - 'cause you could
Not carry me alone - you had
Too much baggage on your own
And I was taking you down,
A thorn upon your crown.

Didn't care how you was feeling - 'cause I was
Dragging all my wheels - 'cause I was
A weight upon your shoulders.

Dead weight upon your shoulders
A weight upon your shoulders - and I was
Taking you down - and taking you with me

You had carried all the load - took us
Further down the road - back when
We had nowhere to go - and I was
Taking you down - and taking you with me
A thorn upon your crown - didn't know what you needed

Didn't care how you was feeling - and I was
Dragging all my wheels, 'cause I was
A pain upon your shoulders
Weighin' upon your shoulders
I was dragging you down

And we knew we could not last
We was going nowhere way too fast - and I
Didn't care how you was feeling - and I was
Dragging all my wheels.
