Shawn Mendes - The Weight (Official Lyric Video)

loving this song right now

*update* now that he works out more, he can finally lift the weight.

He’s not the next Justin Bieber.
He’s the first Shawn Mendes.

Almost 2020
Still obsessed with his older songs

Who the hell would cheat on Shawn? He’s such a sweet, genuine dude.

Almost 2019 and I cannot stop hearing this song 🤠❤️

I want to go back
Forget that it's over
Painted in black
When you left me alone
I never knew, she was sleeping next door
With the kid I grew up with
And I can't go back to her anymore, no more
You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you push me away
But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
No, I can't lift the weight
Put you in the past
Try to forget you 'cause it's over
And every time you ask
I pretend I'm okay
You're inside my head
In the middle of the night
When I don't feel right
I dream I can hold you,
And I can't go back to you anymore, yeah, yeah
You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time, but you push me away
But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakes
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you, you push me away
But then you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight
You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
You told me that you needed time but you, you push me away
And then you try to take me back
Say someday you will change, but I don't wanna wait
-❤

my mom in 2014: you will be over him in a year
me in 2020: mom remember when you said ill be over him haha i still love him
UPDATE : it’s 2021 and I still love him teehee 🤓
It’s 2022 and I most definitely still love him

I remember when I was younger I bought the CD and I would always play the album, this was my favourite song,
I'm 19 now and wow time flies,
I'm proud of you Shawn ♡

I like shawns old music so much more. This song is probably my favorite, it was the first Shawn mendes song I heard and I’ve been obsessed ever since

TRYING TO STAY IN MY LANE BUT YOU'RE ACTUALLY PERFECT I

Que bonito se siente ver como has evolucionado !! Me encantas 💙

Yes, it's been 6 years but this song has my heart and always will. Shawn you have come so far, never stop.

as clássicas nunca são esquecidas

this will always be my favorite Shawn song

I miss this Shawn Mendes and this type of songs he created.
This was when I first heard him before most of the world did.
He deserved all the good things tho.

eu amei muito!

2019 is almost over and I'm still listening to this. Will always be one of my favourites

2022 y escuchando esta joyita, Dios estoy llorando:(

2022
I started this year with Shawn's song, hoping for a change in my life.. And this song still lives in my heart and will forever be my favourite..

his music never gets old

It’s been 4-5 years and this is still my fav song🥺🎵

Amoo 😍

Recuerdo que hace mucho venía a ver tus canciones, fueron tantos días muy bonitos, fuiste parte de mi adolescencia y el amk4r que tengo va creciendo. Prometo estar ahí para ti siempre.

He's honestly so UNDERrated. Like c'mon , someone get this kid a world tour and a million dollars. It seems like now a days people just want to be famous just be famous, but Shawn has serious talent. Pure, un-autotuned talent. I respect that so much. I hope he becomes so much more bigger in years to come. Look how far he's come in two years...

I remember when Shawn first released this. Now he’s one of the most successful artists. I’m so proud of you Shawn.

Me encanta.❤😻

Shawn você significa o mundo para mim

*Why are all your songs always so great?🦋💗✨*

I love this song💓💓💓

Uma das músicas que mais ouvi a muito tempo por causa do meu irmão mais velho, era uma das favoritas dele 😢

melhor música

Still one of my favs after all those years!

This song was the reason I fell in love with Shawn's voice and his music in general ! Almost 5 years ago my best friend showed it to me and I immediately felt this connection , it just made me feel something from the first hearing! I kind of miss having Shawn as a secret , as someone great that not everybody knows but I am happy as well for his success nowadays! He deserves everything great in this world! Is there somebody else who is coming back to this song still in 2019 and it makes them feel like they are hearing it for the first time?

This song is one of my top 10 favourite 👌🏻🎵🎶🎵

Chicos , "The Weight" es una antigua canción de Shawn es hermosa pero no logró ser un rotundo éxito como el lo esperaba
Shawn compuso y lanzó esa canción con una finalidad pero no logró más de lo que esperaba , hay que hacer algo y cambiar esa historia , hay que hacer que renazca , hay que hacer que el esfuerzo de Shawn valga la pena.
Mendes Armys , nosotros podemos con todo , y podemos hacer que esa canción sea la más sonada y exitosa en TheXvid , que salgan en todas las redes sociales , que aparezca en todas las radios habidos , que suenen en todas las calles del mundo , que sea nominado a muchas categorías .
Pero para eso todos juntos debemos hacer que el vídeo sobrepasé las visualizaciones que el tenía preparado , denle like, compartanla , y con eso bastará .
Porfavor , imaginen lo que pensaría Shawn de sus fans y de nuestra capacidad .

*This masterpiece never gets old!* 🔥🔥

It crazy to see how much he's matured physically and vocally. ❤

"The Weight"
I wanna go back,
Forget that it's over
Paint it in black,
When you left me alone
I never knew,
She was sleeping next door with the kid I grew up with,
And I can't go back to her anymore, no
You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you pushed me away
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
No, I can't lift the weight
Put you in the past,
Try to forget you 'cause it's over
And every time you ask
I'll pretend I'm okay
You're inside my head
In the middle of the night
When I don't feel right
I dream I can hold you,
And I can't go back to you anymore, yeah, yeah
You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you pushed me away
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
But I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakes
And I can't lift the weight, no, I can't lift the weight
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you, you pushed me away
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
But I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
You told me that you needed time but you, you pushed me away
And when you try to take me back, you say someday you will change,
But I don't wanna wait

eu aqui 2021 sete anos depois desse hit e relembrando todas as antigas e chorando

I will forever love this song ❤️

Aí que saudades dessa época

Would listen to all of his songs in middle school this is one of my favs:)

2021 que felicidad volver a escuchar, toda mi pubertad escuchando

Ever since my baby brother was born he wouldn't want to go to sleep when everyone else was sleepy. So one night I played Shawn Mendes music to him on auto play and he fell right asleep and now he's five months and I still play it for him and he still sleeps peace fully❤

incrível

agradeço ao shawn por essa música

Verse 1]
I want to go back, forget that it's over
Paint it in black, when you left me alone
I never knew, she was sleeping next door with the kid I grew up with
And I can't go back to her anymore, no more
[Chorus]
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you pushed me away
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
No I can't lift the weight
[Verse 2]
Put you in the past, try to forget you cause it's over
And every time you ask I'll pretend I'm okay
You're inside my head in the middle of the night
When I don't feel right, I dream I can hold you
And I can't go back to you anymore, yeah, yeah
[Chorus 2]
You tell me you were happier with him, but you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you pushed me away
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight
[Bridge]
And I can't lift the weight, no I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you stand on my shoulders and my heart just breaks
And I can't lift the weight, no I can't lift the weight
Yeah, you lower your standards and I raise the stakes
And I can't lift the weight, no I can't lift the weight
Chorus 3]
You tell me you were happier with him but you want me to stay
And you tell me that you needed time but you, you pushed me away
And when you try to take me back, my heavy heart just breaks
But, I can't lift the weight, and I can't lift the weight
You tell me you were happier with him, you want me to stay
You told me that you needed time but you, you pushed me away
And when you try to take me back
You say someday you will change, but I don't wanna wait

Sweepingly resonant and passionate song! One of my favorites from "Handwritten" and the MV just blew me away!

I remember how much I loved this song and I still love

I still listen to this song quite regular, something about the lyrics - they tough my heart. Thank you for giving this gift to us Shawn ♥

✨Desde el 2014 sigue siendo mi canción favorita✨

This song will always be my favorite!!!

sinto falta dessa época

2021 still going strong keep doing what you're doing Shawn cause you're great at it

you know I really love the handwritten album. It’s so sweet and innocent 🥺

4 years past and I still can't sleep without listening to this song 💗

This song is wonderful 🤩

I love this song so much

Its already the final month of 2021, and im still coming back to this beautiful song 💓

Gahh! This was the very first song I heard by Shawn at least 5 years ago or so and I'm so proud!!! You've come a long way!! Much love

*Shawn when he is 16 years old*
Posts singing videos on Vine. Writes, composes and sings songs and becomes everyone's dear Muffin.
*Me ( I'm currently 16)*
Watching Shawn's old and new songs and thinking what I'm doing with my life. *Sighs*

Still an underrated song after all these years

This song hits me in the heart ❤❤❤

muito obrigada shawn!

Good to hear this old song that made me appreciate this guy's talent.🙂 still lile this song even now 2021.

The story of his album
Life of the party: his first date with the girl likes
Show you: there dating but she's telling him what he can and can't do
The weight: she cheated on him with his best friend but wants him back
One of those nights: remembering everything they had together

this is such an underrated song in this album 🥺🥺🥰

Sooo love this song!!! I mean I haven't heard anything better

Amoo essa música mais me da vontade de chorar ♥️♥️

I LOVE YOU SHAWN MENDES

QUE ARTE TE AMOOOO

Este fue el Shawn del que siempre estaré enamorada (っ.❛ ᴗ ❛.)っ

Recordando las primeras JOYITAS de este REY❤🎶

Shawn is talented...but to even put a title to his song similar
to the legendary original should have been avoided at all cost..
but then again, Shawn is great

*Them vocals though!! This is my favorite song from the EP!!*

2014 - 2020 para a vida toda 💙
