Your love’s like a falling down sky,

I keep trying to hold it up

Am I strong enough?

Live for that little sunshine she grants when I’m enough,

But it ain’t ever enough.

While mountainsides are falling,

You bear witness,

Take cover, get down,

There’s rubble all around you and you’re feeling,

The weight of it now.

Its hard to say enough’s enough,

But I know I can’t be there for you now,

If I don’t want to drown.

I’m prayin’ that you find a way,

To let that weight thats pushing all around you come down 

While mountainsides are falling,

You bear witness,

Take cover, get down,

There’s rubble all around you and you’re feeling,

The weight of it now.

While mountainsides are falling,

You bear witness,

Take cover, get down,

There’s rubble all around you and you’re feeling,

The weight of it now.

The Weight of it dives into the challenging reality of relationships with people who are constant takers. It's about a cycle where you pour yourself into someone, try to hold them up like 'a falling down sky,' but realize it's never enough. They just keep demanding, keep drawing from you.

You try to live for those rare times they might seem satisfied, but “it ain't ever enough”. There's always more, always a new need, a new demand.

The imagery in the chorus - 'mountainsides are falling, You bear witness, Take cover, get down, There’s rubble all around you…' – is the moment their world, built on taking from others, finally crumbles. You're there, watching it happen, seeing the chaos they've created.

The 2nd verse shifts back to the giver’s perspective. 'Its hard to say enough’s enough, But I know I can’t be there for you now, If I don’t want to drown.' This is about the brutal realization that staying in that dynamic will destroy you. It's about witnessing them crumble, only for them to immediately shift into a victim role, completely unaware that they brought it on themselves. They look for someone to blame, and this inability to take responsibility just compounds the weight they carry and the dysfunction they bring wherever they go.

'The Weight of It' is a song born from the exhaustion of constantly giving and the pain of seeing someone destroy their own world. It's about recognizing that sometimes, the most loving thing you can do for yourself, and perhaps for them in the long run, is to step away from that destructive cycle, even when it’s incredibly difficult.
