[Intro: Chester Bennington]
But I've also never liked being anything
I don't like being ha... I, I mea... I wanna be happy, but if I'm in it I try to get out of it and while I don't like being sad, while I'm in it I try to get out of it
I've never being comfortable just being – just being
[Verse 1: Chester Bennington]
I don’t like my mind right now
Stacking up problems that are so unnecessary
Wish that I could slow things down (slow things down)
I wanna let go but there’s comfort in the panic
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything's about me
(Thinking everything's about me)
Yeah, I drive myself crazy
'Cause I can’t escape the gravity
[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Kiiara]
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
[Verse 2: Kiiara]
You say that I'm paranoid
But I’m pretty sure the world is out to get me
It’s not like I make the choice
(It’s not like I make the choice)
To let my mind stay so fucking messy
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
(keep spinning 'round me just the same)
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
[Chorus: Kiiara]
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
[Bridge: Chester Bennington & Kiiara]
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same (just the same)
I know I'm not the center of the universe
But you keep spinning 'round me just the same
And I drive myself crazy
Thinking everything’s about me (about me)
[Chorus: Chester Bennington & Kiiara]
I'm holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
So much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down
If I just let go, I'd be set free
Holding on
Why is everything so heavy?
Why is everything so heavy?
Why is everything so heavy?
