  • If we start cracking at the center
    I won't let it break
    Hold it together through the weather, it's my DNA
    So sick of being your giver
    Throwing my soul away
    All give, no take

    Look what you started
    You're turning me heartless
    I'm trying my hardest
    If I'm being honest

    I can't take it over and over
    Dead weight hanging off of my shoulder
    Nothing changes I'm getting colder
    Dead weight hanging off of my shoulders

    Dead weight hanging off of my shoulders

    If I start cracking at the center
    All this goes away
    I'm staying numb to my feelings
    Dodge 'em like Novocaine
    My back is breaking
    From taking all of this dead weight
    All give, no take

    Do you even notice
    How easy you got this?
    Taking wings off a goddess
    If I'm being honest

    I can't take it over and over
    Dead weight hanging off of my shoulder
    Nothing changes I'm getting colder
    Dead weight hanging off of my shoulders

    Dead weight hanging off of my shoulders

    All give, no take
    All give, no take
    All give, no take
    All give, no take

    I can't take it over and over
    Dead weight hanging off of my shoulder
    Nothing changes I'm getting colder
    Dead weight hanging off of my shoulders

    I can't take it over and over
    Dead weight hanging off of my shoulder
    Nothing changes I'm getting colder
    Dead weight hanging off of my shoulders Writer/s: Justin Thomas Daly, Lyndsey Gerd Gunnulfsen, Nate Cyphert, Sean Van Fleet, Thomas James Schleiter
