I used to be okay
at least I think I was
I know I'm not the same
but have I changed too much
Am I too big a burden
now for you to hold
Too heavy and too worried
gotta let me go
So you can breathe again
So you can finally stand

You've done more than you had to
You've tried to make me good
You say that you are glad to
And even though I know you would
You've gotta look toward your future
and you'll see that I'm not there
I'll be in your rearview mirror
and you ought to leave me there

An anchor in the worst way
I will drag you down
If you decide to stay
then you will surely drown
Release yourself from me
to go and find the sun
I know it won't be easy
but it must be done
So you can breathe again
So you can finally stand

You've done more than you had to
You've tried to make me good
You say that you are glad to
And even though I know you would
You've gotta look toward your future
and you'll see that I'm not there
I'll be in your rearview mirror
and you ought to leave me there

I know it's wrong and I know I'm weak
but I won't be the one to leave
Please go breathe again
Please just make your stand
