I swear I know your face,
I wish I knew your name
I wish I could take you by the hand
If I could name it
If I could just explain it
If I could only help you,
help you understand
I can see that you`re hurting
weighed down like a beast of burden
about to break your back.
God only knows that you`re human
So what are they trying to do then
Believe me, they don`t understand
that you have the wieght of the world today
It`s on your back
A heavy load like that is gonna hold you back
It`s gonna drag you down
You know it just can`t last, just can`t
You know it just can`t last
They thought they could use you
Push you down and abuse you
And what`s so sad is you`ve decided to hide
all your feelings
Got more pain than you can deal with
but ask yourself how can this last
I know you have the weight of the world today
It`s on your back
A heavy load like that is gonna hold you back
It`s gonna drag you down
You know it just can`t last, just can`t
You know it just can`t last
