I used to carry
the weight of the world
On my back

I never trusted
my friends or my girl
Can you imagine that

I used to shuffle my feet
When I walked
I hung my head down low

Kept to myself
all my private thoughts
But when I met you girl.


I dropped the
weight of the world

Weight of the world
I dropped the
weight of the world

Weight of the world.

I knew some people

used to dance all night
But not me
I never knew

if it was wrong or right
To be so free
I used to close my eyes

And try to hide
from the light of love
Spent all my time

with the darkness inside
But when I met you girl.


I dropped
the weight of the world
Weight of the world

I dropped
the weight of the world
Weight of the world.


I was alone
for all of my life

I was alone
for all of my life
I was alone

for all of my life
I was alone
for all of my life

Until you came my way
I dropped
the weight of the world

Weight of the world
I dropped
the weight of the world

Weight of the world.
