Lyrics
======================================================
(verse 1)
Complicate this world you wrapped for me 
Im acquainted with your suffering

(chorus)
And all your weight, it falls on me             
It brings me down                      
And all your weight, it falls on me   
It falls on me                       

Hold me up to those whom you decieved
Promises you break, you still believe

(chorus) x3
And all your weight, it falls on me             
It brings me down                      
And all your weight, it falls on me   
It falls on me
