Weight of the Branch
Style: Slow R&B

[Verse 1]
I watched the pears give up their hold
Falling soft where the grass grows old
Nobody told them the ground was close
I thought of you before I was told

[Chorus]
Diego, you're the weight I chose to carry
Not a burden, never wary
Something in you refused to let go
Diego, still the one I won't let go

[Verse 2]
Some things fall and start to rot
You stayed ripe in every spot
I kept you closer than I should have said
Love like yours, I never once forgot

[Pre-chorus]
I've seen sweetness turn to waste
Seen it happen, seen it chased
But you don't fade no matter how the light goes

[Chorus]
Diego, you're the weight I chose to carry
Not a burden, never wary
Something in you refused to let go
Diego, still the one I won't let go

[Bridge]
Let the branch bend low with you on it
I won't flinch, I won't regret it
Every fall you've had, I caught you slow
That's the only kind of love I know

[Chorus]
Diego, you're the weight I chose to carry
Not a burden, never wary
Something in you refused to let go
Diego, still the one I won't let go

[Outro]
The grass is soft where good things land
I'm glad you fell right in my hand
