Don't Weigh Me Down Lyrics

Time ticks, it ticks on by so slowly

Waiting for you to see the light

You don't want to be around me

But refuse to cut off the ties and take flight

So now that you know

Please don't weigh me down

Don't fool around

Understand me

It's time that I grow

Please don't weigh me down

Don't you play the clown

Can't you come around

Don't weigh me down

Let's make peace and go our ways calmly

Let's be friends and keep what once was happy

We know it's gone too far to save it

Let it go that way some you'll savour

So now that you know

Please don't weigh me down

Don't fool around

Understand me

It's time that I grow

Please don't weigh me down

Don't you play the clown

Can't you come around

Don't weigh me down

I'd rather keep you here and have it like before

But I see that cannot be

We have to close the door

So now that you know

Please don't weigh me down

Don't fool around

Understand me

It's time that I grow

Please don't weigh me down

Don't you play the clown

Can't you come around

Don't weigh me down

Don't you think it's better

If we go our separate ways

Let it go, let it drift away

It's been too long, it's hard to stay

We need to leave this

Let it fade
