Weight of the World

A continent of doubt weighs heavy on my mind

And how long can my brittle bones bend

Before they yield and snap?

I don't wanna know, 'cause I'm so scared

Is it gonna get easier than this?

'Cause it's too much to bear, my darlin'

The weight of the world (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

I've no fear that she is the source of what little strength I've got left

I don't wanna know, 'cause I'm so scared

Is it gonna get easier than this?

'Cause it's too much to bear, my darlin'

The weight of the world (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

Ooh, I can clearly see

The mountains that I've yet to climb

I'll get there if it kills me

'Cause it's too much to bear, my darlin'

The weight of the world (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, oh

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
