The Weight of the Chain

[Intro]
[Verse]
Parking lot at 3 AM
You were my only friend
Checking for change in the seat
Walking with holes in our feet
Promised we'd both see the light
Chasing the stars in the night
Faded neon on the glass
Watching the old world pass
[Pre-Chorus]
Then the phone started ringing
And the labels started singing
I packed my bags for the coast
Left you behind like a ghost
Yeah, I left you like a ghost
[Chorus]
These diamond chains feel heavy now
I let you down, don't know how
Faded neon at the liquor store
I don't shop there anymore
But I'd trade it all for a ride
With you right by my side
Yeah, I'd trade it for a ride
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, the weight is too much
Ooh, I'm losing my touch
In the hills all alone
Staring at a silent phone
[Verse]
LA sun is way too bright
Can't sleep through the night
See your name on the screen
Blue bubbles, what does it mean?
I haven't texted you back
My heart is starting to crack
From hand-me-downs to the silk
Drinking champagne like it's milk
But the taste is always bitter
Scrolling through your feed on Twitter
[Chorus]
These diamond chains feel heavy now
I let you down, don't know how
Faded neon at the liquor store
I don't shop there anymore
But I'd trade it all for a ride
With you right by my side
Yeah, I'd trade it for a ride
[Bridge]
We were supposed to be the team
Living out the California dream
Now I'm standing in the hills alone
Staring at a silent phone
I got the fame but lost the soul
Falling deep inside this hole
Broken promises we made
Watch the childhood memories fade
[Verse]
Remember the 7-Eleven run?
We thought we had already won
Just because we had a buck
Now I'm rich but out of luck
The billboard's got my face
But I'm missing our old place
G# minor in my head
Words I never should've said
Or the ones I left unsaid
[Chorus]
These diamond chains feel heavy now
I let you down, don't know how
Faded neon at the liquor store
I don't shop there anymore
But I'd trade it all for a ride
With you right by my side
Yeah, I'd trade it for a ride
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, the weight is too much
Ooh, I'm losing my touch
In the hills all alone
Staring at a silent phone
[Outro]
