lyrics

People do it all the time
And I know better than to give in to it
Havent been able to cry
But I know everybody lets go

I can see us taking time
In a new direction
Tell me it’ll be alright
I need it to get better

I dont wanna live the life ive been living
I dont wanna be alive if this is it
I dont wanna spend another day without you
I dont wanna waste the time ive been given
I dont wanna be alive if this is it
If youre not dead and im not dead
Then we’re never dead

I’ve been working on myself
Wont give more than what I can deliver
Sick of dancing with my doubts
Let’s get lost down different roads now

I can see us taking time
In a new direction
Tell me it’ll be alright
I need it to get better

I dont wanna live the life ive been living
I dont wanna be alive if this is it
I dont wanna spend another day without you
I dont wanna waste the time ive been given
I dont wanna be alive if this is it
If youre not dead and im not dead
Then we’re never dead

I don’t wanna live the life I’ve been living
I don’t wanna make the choice I’ve been given
I dont wanna spend another day with you
I don’t wanna waste a rhyme on this rhythm
Maybe this time it’s time that we give in
Maybe this time we’re dead

Ryan Ritual's "The Weight Of Love" is a haunting echo chamber of 80s-inspired hooks and modern melancholy, a tribute to a year spent in the shadow of familial illness and global crisis. Ritual's songwriting is a masterclass in pop sophistication, each track a capsule of raw emotion, produced to perfection by Chris Zane (Passion Pit, The Walkmen). ... more
