Heavy Lifting

Sometimes the heavy lifting is putting it down
Maybe the winds are shifting or just turned around
I should be steady stepping on familiar ground
But I'm slowly sinking and I'll probably drown

Don't wanna tell him about my plans
Because they'll never come to be
So when I let somebody down
Inevitably Let it be me

Why in the morning dawning does it all seem so clear
Then in the evening that all just seems to disappear
What causes laughter to turn into tears
Why don't you hold the applause while I'm spilling my fears

Don't wanna tell him about my plans
Because they'll never come to be
So when I let somebody down
Inevitably let it be me
Let it be me
Let it be me
Let it be me

They tell me it gets better but I'm having my doubts
I like my whistle wetter put myself in this drought
If I could just tip the bottle it would straighten me out
And that's a tough pill to swallow when you can't wash it down

Don't wanna tell him about my plans
Because they'll never come to be
So when I let somebody down
Inevitably let it be me
Heavy lifting
Is putting it down
It's heavy lifting
And I don't wanna drown
Yeah oh oh oh oh
