I used to carry the weight of the world

And now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly

I don’t know why I was so afraid

All the time

Memories seemed to bother me

My whole life

I used to carry the weight of the world

And now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly

I used to carry the weight of the world

And now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly

I don’t know why I was so ashamed

Such a waste of time

And I don’t know who I was trying to be

All those lies

I used to carry the weight of the world

And now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly

I used to carry the weight of the world

And now all I wanna do is spread my wings and fly

Oh and there’s always something

Or somebody right behind

Well we’re not meant to be everything

We’re just a piece

So spread your wings

Oh I don’t know why I was so afraid

All the time

I used to carry the weight of the world
