	Story Behind the Song This song was written many years ago in a band Mike was in (Closet Monster). Mike came up with music and Amy was gracious enough to write the lyrics and melodies for it. At the time, it was a full blown power ballad. The song was recorded by Closet Monster (without vocals) but never released. Amy and Mike felt it was too good of song to not be released but needed to be changed to fit Swim. The end result is a stripped down song about the aftermath of a breakup or divorce with only an acoustic guitar and two voices to propel it. Many thanks to Jeff Koller (ex. drummer/backing vocalist for Closet Monster) for his fine harmony vocals which added so much to the song. Lyrics Heavy loads we carry, me and you So nevermind that we're still broken Desperation threw together me and you So nevermind that we're so different Too much time as well as money has all been spent Let's try to fix what seems broken Now I watch and wait in silence To catch an answer falling from your lips And you lie, and I lie With all I've had I've been to you I saw you through Still it's not enought for you The lonely days, the sleepless nights, the endless fights It's not enough for you Not another day has come for me and you For us to fix what seems broken Carry on with you the memory That I too will remember That you lied, and I lied So nevermind that we're still broken Nevermind
