You always said, "don't take me lightly
Take me heavy like a burden"
You don't know heavy til you've held it
And it's hurting
And through the years I had resentment
Felt I couldn't take the beating
But lately I've the strangest feeling
It's what I needed
I do believe I'm coming cleaner
Feel the stiffness of the water
What shook me then is gonna have to
Shake me harder
Pressing on can be so lonely
But I know it won't be longer
Longer than the time that I've spent
Getting stronger
