Lyrics & Translation
English
Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
I walk as far as they need to recover
For how long? (ha!)
I want to carry a piece of who I was before
So when I hit the wall, I really hit the wall
I want to tear away the death again
A whiter shade of fucking meth again
I want to stick to clues, I want to come unglued
I want to shape the world to fit the way you move
Oh, should I listen for a dress size?
I owned up, I've grown up, do you remember me?
I showed up and so what if I'm the used to be
I'm here to tell you that I'm sorry I was sorry
But I'm happy that you're happy
This is no longer about me
Trade rules, switch sides for your beautiful eyes
Let him be you through your beautiful cries
Let him hold you up so you can touch affordable skies
Live your life just like a dream
Without the pain of goodbyes
Goodbye!
Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
I walk as far as they need to recover
For how long?
I been a drunk disrespectful little street punk
Unlock the back of my trunk
You see, you take this bat
And bash my head into the street again
No-ones around so I keep beating it
Pull my hair back, look me in the eye
There's a self-destructive meaning in the bleeding of a guy
It's the guilt of what reality has given me
Making sense of all mistakes and my stupidity
And when you're sick you seem to think
You've failed eternally
And that the people you let in are only crumbling
When you're sick of faking life in this recovery
When my decision paved the road
That lies in front of me
So to my friends that even call but I don't call back
I want you deep inside my heart upon a hill
It seems to hide sometimes and run away and wonder
I'm really sick of saying sorry but I will
Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?
I walk as far as they need to recover
For how long?
But are we scared to take the ride?
Or dare to look inside?
I'm floating far away (far away)
I'm floating far away (leaving home)
I'm floating far away (so far away)
I'm floating far away
I want to learn to walk with others as an equal
I want to treat the ones who love me with respect
I want to tell the world I'll give them all a piggyback
And try to take away my negative effect
I want to kiss a girl and know I'll never lie again
I want to call my dad and tell him that I care
I want to let my brother know
He saved my life a thousand times
Throughout the years he's been my friend
Who's always there
Ever carried the weight of another?
For how long?

Overweight (traducción LyricVerse Team)
¿Alguna vez cargaste el peso de otro?
¿Por cuánto tiempo?
Camino tan lejos como necesiten para recuperarse
¿Por cuánto tiempo? (¡ja!)
Quiero llevar un pedazo de quien fui antes
Así que cuando choque contra la pared, realmente chocaré contra la pared
Quiero arrancar la muerte de nuevo
Un tono más blanco de la maldita metanfetamina de nuevo
Quiero atenerme a las pistas, quiero desprenderme
Quiero moldear el mundo para que se ajuste a tu movimiento
Oh, ¿debería escuchar por una talla de vestido?
Asumí, he madurado, ¿me recuerdas?
Aparecí y ¿qué importa si soy el que solía ser?
Estoy aquí para decirte que lamento haberlo lamentado
Pero estoy feliz de que seas feliz
Esto ya no se trata de mí
Cambia las reglas, cambia de bando por tus hermosos ojos
Deja que él sea tú a través de tus hermosos llantos
Deja que él te sostenga para que puedas tocar cielos asequibles
Vive tu vida como un sueño
Sin el dolor de los adioses
¡Adiós!
¿Alguna vez cargaste el peso de otro?
¿Por cuánto tiempo?
Camino tan lejos como necesiten para recuperarse
¿Por cuánto tiempo?
He sido un pequeño punk callejero borracho e irrespetuoso
Desbloquea la parte trasera de mi maletero
Verás, tomas este bate
Y me golpeas la cabeza contra la calle de nuevo
No hay nadie alrededor, así que sigo golpeándolo
Me echo el pelo hacia atrás, mírame a los ojos
Hay un significado autodestructivo en el sangrado de un tipo
Es la culpa de lo que la realidad me ha dado
Dándole sentido a todos los errores y mi estupidez
Y cuando estás enfermo, pareces pensar
Que has fracasado eternamente
Y que las personas a las que dejas entrar solo se están desmoronando
Cuando estás harto de fingir la vida en esta recuperación
Cuando mi decisión pavimentó el camino
Que yace frente a mí
Así que a mis amigos que incluso llaman pero no les devuelvo la llamada
Los quiero en lo profundo de mi corazón sobre una colina
Parece esconderse a veces y huir y preguntarse
Estoy realmente harto de pedir perdón, pero lo haré
¿Alguna vez cargaste el peso de otro?
¿Por cuánto tiempo?
Camino tan lejos como necesiten para recuperarse
¿Por cuánto tiempo?
¿Pero tenemos miedo de tomar el viaje?
¿O nos atrevemos a mirar dentro?
Estoy flotando muy lejos (muy lejos)
Estoy flotando muy lejos (dejando el hogar)
Estoy flotando muy lejos (tan lejos)
Estoy flotando muy lejos
Quiero aprender a caminar con otros como un igual
Quiero tratar a quienes me aman con respeto
Quiero decirle al mundo que les daré a todos un paseo a cuestas
Y tratar de eliminar mi efecto negativo
Quiero besar a una chica y saber que nunca más mentiré
Quiero llamar a mi papá y decirle que me importa
Quiero que mi hermano sepa
Que me salvó la vida mil veces
A lo largo de los años ha sido mi amigo
Quien siempre está ahí
¿Alguna vez cargaste el peso de otro?
¿Por cuánto tiempo?
