Verse 1
I’ve been holding every moment tight,
Like something precious might slip at night,
Every word weighed, every step planned,
Like the world rested in my hands.
But I caught my breath in the middle of the day,
Asked what would break if I walked away.
Chorus
So I put it down, just for a while,
That heavy look, that furrowed brow,
Didn’t lose what mattered most—
I lost the weight I didn’t know I chose.
Verse 2
I thought seriousness meant depth,
Like if I stayed light I’d lose my step,
But depth came back when I let it breathe,
When I stopped clenching what I couldn’t keep.
A laugh slipped through, the room grew wide,
Nothing important actually died.
Chorus
So I put it down, that borrowed load,
Found the ground where humour grows,
Care stayed close, but softer now,
Like listening instead of vows.
Bridge
I don’t need to guard each turn,
Life knows how to twist and learn,
Gravity isn’t love or truth—
It’s just a habit worn smooth.
Final Chorus
So I put it down, again and again,
Every time the weight comes in,
What’s real doesn’t need me tense—
It shows up best without defence.
Outro
Nothing trivial.
Nothing heavy.
Just here—
And that’s enough.
