Heavyweight

Try to be
The best you can be
Never mind
The days you're unhappy
Put on your face
Regret your mistakes
And don't forget your place

Try to lead
By example
Said to me
You can't be fragile
Take it on the chin
Repent your sins
Then scrub your skin

So you can throw me into deep water
And tell me it'll make me stronger
You throw me to the waves
Then act surprised when I need to be saved

It's a heavy weight
On a frightened face
But I can't complain
When it's just a game

Try to be
A little colder
So they know
They can't take over
But don't be cruel
Make sure you're cool
Be the latest news

The lights went out
They won't be found
Not safe or sound
But I stay devout
You killed the joy
I felt the void
So I made some noise
Like a wind-up toy

So you can throw me into deep water
And tell me it'll make me stronger
You throw me to the waves
Then act surprised when I need to be saved

It's a heavy weight
On a frightened face
But I can't complain
When it's just a game

You throw me into deep water (la-la-la la-la)
And tell me it'll make me stronger (la-la-la la-la)
You can throw me into deep water (la-la-la la-la)
And tell me it'll make me stronger (la-la-la la-la)
