These Days

These were the days that I thought I knew what my life would come to
I was so set on you, I couldn't set my mind on anything else
I gave it all away for you
I jumped as high as I could to make you happy
I longed to see you smile, that's all I've ever tried to do
I was being the man you wanted me to be
These were the days that I felt so alive
I felt like I had it all in my hands
You were my world and I was your everything
I always told you, that I would carry every bit of weight that was on your back on mine
I just wish you'd do the same for me

I can't carry the both of us
Either my legs break in two
Or I learn how to drop you
But I'm afraid of life without you
So I'll go on with broken legs
The effort was equal
Now it's just being put forth by me
What's next for you and I
I continue to pray
I lift what's left of my hands
To grasp on the answers

I hope these hands are strong enough to push you away
There's not much in me to carry your weight
I hope these hands are strong enough to push you away
There's not much in me to carry your weight
To carry your weight, to carry your weight
