Deadweight

You were always there for me, you would always carry me,

So now I ask one last favor.

When the time comes and you have to go,

All I ask is that you leave me behind.

I’m just deadweight, I’m not worth it,

You shouldn’t put up with me.

So get rid of me while you still have the chance.

I’m holding you back and bringing you down.

I look around all the good I see is in you,

So I have to cut you off.

I have to free you before I corrupt you,

And turn you into me.

I see the light in you, and I don’t want to put it out.

It burns so bright, I want to keep it lit.

But stay with me, and I’ll turn you darker,

I’ll ruin you.

So just let me set you free.

And when the time comes, leave this deadweight behind.
