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

So 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)
So 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)
