about

Written by Jessi Phillips

lyrics

Sometimes you tell me I should leave here
Cause you know I'm scared to go
That I could better stand without you
And I seemed better off alone

You say you can't be what I need
But I've been around enough to know
That I can't live without that look
On your face when you come home

Chorus:

With the weight of the world
The weight of the world on your shoulders
With the weight of the world
The weight of the world on your hands
It says that I still have you
If I want you
And you know that I do

They tell me love what I have
Learn to want what I've been given
To see how far I've come
Not only what went wrong

But after years of wandering
The world is calling still to me
And I don't know how to answer
Or how to do what I just can't see

With the weight of the world
The weight of the world on my shoulders
With the weight of the world
The weight of the world on my hands
But you know that you still have me
If you want me
And you know that you do


You know that you still have me
If you want me
And I know that you do
