lyrics

It feels a little bit heavy, like I’m told it should
I was a little unready; didn’t know if I could
With everything and nothing holding me here
Now I’m making plans for the rest of the year

And everyone is saying

It’s not a choice that I need to make
It’s just a voice pointing out everything that’s at stake
No one I know is gonna point the way
But I know staying put is still choosing to stay

He talks a little bit to me, like I wished he would
He sees a little bit through me, where the walls once stood
With everything and nothing pouring out my lips
Now that it's not broken, I can look for the fix

While everyone is saying

It’s not a choice that I need to make
It’s just a voice pointing out everything that’s at stake
No one I know is gonna point the way
But I know staying put is still choosing to stay

I’ve learned to ignore the weight
Not all who hurt have to numb the pain
I can bear it pushing down on me
It’s only a little bit heavy

It’s not a choice that I need to make
It’s just a voice pointing out everything that’s at stake
No one I know is gonna point the way
But I know staying put is still choosing to stay
