A continent of doubt
Weighs heavy on my mind
How long can my brittle bones bend
Before they yield and snap?
I don't wanna know
'Cause I'm so scared,
It's not gonna get easi--er than this
Because it's too much to bear my darlin'
The weight of the world,
And I would carry it for you,
But please don't ask me to because the
Weight of the world
Is a burden I can't bear.
Is a burden I can't bear.
Maybe it's gravity
That pulls her to my chest,
Not the fear that she is the source
Of what little strength I've got left,
I don't wanna know
'Cause I'm so scared,
It's not gonna get easi--er than this
Because it's too much to bear my darlin'
The weight of the world,
And I would carry it for you,
But please don't ask me to because the
Weight of the world
Is a burden I can't bear.
My horizon lies a jagged line,
Oh I can clearly see,
The mountains that I've yet to climb,
I'll get there if it kills me.
Because it's too much to bear my darlin'
The weight of the world,
And I would carry it for you,
But please don't ask me to because the
Weight of the world
Is a burden I can't
Bear.
Can't bear,
And I would carry it for you,
But please don't ask me to because the
Weight of the world
Is a burden I can't bear.
