Well I know 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
Well I can
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 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
It just can
You know it just can`t last.
You know it just can`t last
It just can
You know it just can`t last.
Well 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
It just can
You know it just can`t last.
You know it just can`t last
It just can
You know it just can`t last...
