lyrics

The Weight (Lyrics)
Written by Jerrika Mighelle

All alone in my dreams
Though my heart could use some peace
If it weren’t for all this weight I put on me

In times like these
I’m always on my knees
Praying for a truth to rescue me

I’ve been locked on repeat on repeat on repeat
No one can save me
Save me
Try as they might
Only I hold the key

Don’t be afraid
Don’t be ashamed
Don’t waste away

When I was seventeen
I found love in a dream
We were working
On a ranch In the 1940s

When my eyes locked on hers
My secret was born
One day i’ll love a woman
That’s what my hearts designed for

Then i woke with my hand on my chest
Filled up with this new bliss
Somehow I’d escaped
My loneliness

And for years after that
The secret i kept
Became a weight
That no one should take
Try as they might
Lord I couldn't escape

And so every night
With my hand on chest
I yearned to return
To that dream and that kiss
Again just to feel
What I couldn’t reveal

Don’t be afraid
Don’t be ashamed
Don’t waste away

You have been loved
Light still shines on us
And your beautiful heart
Is more than enough

Oh's

Don’t be afraid
You’re beautiful heart
Is more than enough
