lyrics

Lighten up
You think that you're the only one who's gotta
figure this all out?
It's hard enough
to grow a little happiness without you
sowing seeds of doubt
So come on--
cut it out

I'll give you everything I can if I think that it will help
Is it not enough?
Well, I got only so much to give--
I need a little for myself
So come on--
step back and take a breath

It's too fucking heavy--
dragging this into the ground
You know I'll pick you up, but I feel you pulling down

Don'tcha know
it doesn't have to be this way--
you don't have to hold on so tight
Cuz you know
sometimes it's better to run away
than it is to stay and fight
So let go, let go
and it will come, hmm

It's not so heavy...

No matter how you look at it,
you're gonna be right
So if it's up to me to pick, I'd rather
keep it light, alright?
Alright

And not so heavy...
(You're getting my back up now)
You know I'll pick you up, but I feel you pulling down
