Weight Of It All

He wears it well

but I can tell his heart's not what it used to be.

It is disease

that holds him in the shadow of uncertainty.

When he appears

lines up his fears in hope that I might face them all

Think I've had enough to last a lifetime

Ours is a love that toes a fine line

And he might take the lot

but he won't want to find me

crushed beneath the weight of it all

Think i've had enough to last a lifetime

I can't begin

To have my doubts about the state our house is in.

I learned to swim

in hoping I might make an island of him

And he might take the lot

but he won't want to find me

crushed beneath the weight of it all

Think I've had enough to last a lifetime.

Ours is a love that toes a fine line.

And he might take the lot

but he won't want to find me

crushed beneath the weight of it all

You can take the lot

but only once

you'll find me

crushed beneath the weight of it all
