Weight Of The World Lyrics

Maybe your daddy never held you like he 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
You carry the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' 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 gotta lose the weight of the world
Maybe, I haven't always been there just for you Maybe, I try but then I've got my own life too Every heart has a hunger, I'm not gettin' any younger And I've got all the crosses I can bear
Don't gimme the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' 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 gotta lose the weight of the world
It all comes down to who you crucify You either kiss the future or the past goodbye We could fly so high
But we carry the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' us down, on our backs like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it girl, get it off of our shoulders You know we've been used and we gotta lose the weight of the world
It's bringin' us down and the night's growin' colder Just blame it on fate, that was yesterday girl And we're just growin' older
You know we've been used and we gotta to lose the weight of the world The weight of the world, the weight of the world
