A continent of doubt weighs heavy on my mind
And how long can my brittle bones bend
Before they yield and snap?
I don't wanna know, 'cause I'm so scared
It's not gonna get easier than this
'Cause it's too much to bear, my darling
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
Maybe it's gravity that pulls her to my chest
Not the fear that she is the source
Of what little strength I've got left
I don't wanna know, 'cause I'm so scared
It's not gonna get easier than this
'Cause it's too much to bear, my darling
The weight of the world (weight of the world)
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
My horizon lies a jagged line
Oh, I can clearly see
The mountains that I've yet to climb
I'll get there if it kills me
'Cause it's too much to bear, my darling
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
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
