Weight Of The World Lyrics

A continent of doubt weighs heavy on my mind
How long can my brittle bones bend?
Before they yield and snapI 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
And I would carry it for you
But please don't ask me too
'Cause the weight of the world
Is a burden I can't bearMaybe it's gravity
that pulls her to my chest
Not the fear that she is the source of what little strength I've got leftI 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
And I would carry it for you
But please don't ask me too
'Cause the weight of the world

Is a burden I can't bearMy horizon lies a jagged line
Oh I can clearly see
The mountains I've yet to climb
I'll get there if it kills me
