This song is written about the process of breaking up. It might be a love interest or a business partnership or any divide that separates people.
Lyrics:
Our love has been a load
From the beginning of the road
First it strengthened me
As you crawled inside, but
I can't carry you anymore
I can't carry you anymore.
As we moved along
I saw a change of pace
We're on a different track
And not on the same beat and
I can't carry you anymore
I can't carry you anymore.
Chorus
I look hard in the mirror
I see a different reflection
From what we had
From when we used to
Like the same old things
You choose to go north
While I'm looking south
The talk is heavy now
When we talk at all, I know
I can't carry you anymore
I can't carry you anymore
Now I'm getting older
it's more work than ever
You changed a lot and
I'm not the same, so
I can't carry you anymore
I can't carry you anymore
We used to laugh away
Any trouble of the day
It's just not fun like before,
It's even very hard to smile, yea
I can't carry you anymore
I can't carry you anymore
