Weight Of The World

[Verse 1] Maybe your daddy never held you like you should Maybe your mama just held on the best she could Every soul has a secret Give it away or keep it But yesterday's gone so tell me why [Chorus] You carry the weight, the weight of the world It's breaking you down on your back like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl Get it off of your shoulder I know you've been used But you got to lose the weight of the world [Verse 2] Maybe I haven't always been there just for you Maybe I try but then I got my own life too Every heart has a hunger I'm not getting any younger I got all the crosses i can bear [Chorus] Don't give me the weight, the weight of the world It's breaking me down on my back like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl Get it off of my shoulder You know I've been used And I got to lose the weight of the world [Bridge] It all comes down to who you crucify You either kiss the future or the past goodbye We could fly so high [Chorus] But we carry the weight, the weight of the world It's breaking us down on our backs like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl Get it off of our shoulders We've all been used And we got to lose the weight of the world It's taking us down and the night's growing colder Just blame it on fate, that was yesterday, girl And we're just growing older We've all been used Now it's time to lose the weight of the world The weight of the world [x2]
