[Intro]
The weight of living
The weight of living
The weight of living
The weight of living
[Verse 1]
All that you desired, when you were a child
Was to be old, was to be old
Now that you are here, suddenly you fear
You ve lost control (You ve lost control)
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you like the person you ve become? Oh
[Chorus]
Under the weight of living
You re under the weight of living
Under the weight of living
You are under the weight
The weight of living, the weight of living
[Verse 2]
It all crept up on you, in the night it got you
And plagued your mind, it plagues your mind
Every day that passes, faster than the last did
And you ll be old soon, you ll be old
[Pre-Chorus]
Do you like the person you ve become? Oh
[Chorus]
Under the weight of living
You re under the weight of living
Under the weight of living
You are under the weight
The weight of living, the weight of living
[Bridge]
(Tell yourself this is how it s going to be)
(Tell yourself this is how it s going to be)
Oh, tell yourself this is how it s going to be.
Oh, tell yourself this is how it s going to be, oh.
[Chorus]
Under the weight of living
You re under the weight of living
Under the weight of living
You are under the weight
The weight of living, the weight of living
The weight of living, the weight of living
