Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A continent of doubt weighs heavy on my mind
And how long can my brittle bones bend
Before they yield and snap?
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna know, 'cause I'm so scared
Is it gonna get easier than this?
[Verse 3]
'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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
I don't wanna know, 'cause I'm so scared
Is it gonna get easier than this?
[Verse 6]
'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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
'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
[Verse 9]
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
