Weight of the World - Chantal Kreviazuk

Feels like the weight of the world Like God in heaven gave me a turn Don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you Still in the dark, can you fix me? Freefall, freefall, all through life If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I used to be She's nothing to me Feels like the weight of the world Like all my screaming has gone unheard And oh, I know you don't believe in me Safe in the dark, how can you see? Freefall, freefall, all through life If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I used to be If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I was If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I used to be

Maybe your daddy never held you like he should Maybe your mama just held on the best she could Ev'ry soul has a secret Give it away or keep it But yesterday's gone so tell me why You carry the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' you down on your back like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl Get it off of your shoulder I know you've been used But you gotta lose the weight of the world Maybe i haven't always been there just for you Maybe i try but then i got my own life too Ev'ry heart has a hunger I'm not getting any younger I got all the crosses i can bear Don't gimme the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' me down on my back like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl Get it off of my shoulder You know i've been used And i gotta lose the weight of the world It all comes down to who you crucify You either kiss the future or the past goodbye We could fly so high But we carry the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' us down on our backs like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl Get it off of our shoulders We've all been used And we gotta lose the weight of the world It's takin' us down and the night's growin' colder Just blame it on fate, that was yesterday, girl And we're just growin' older We've all been abused Now it's time to lose the weight of the world The weight of the world The weight of the world

I'm alone in this life And these old jeans are too tight And now I can't pick my feet off the floor I try to laugh but I cry My dignity is undignified Guess I'm really on my own Love is like a little boy, no I'm not paranoid But I'm on to you, yeah, yeah Well I'm not 17 and I don't want to be So why am I hiding Is it too late to call you on the phone Too late to tell you I'm alone I want to wake you from another lonely night Too late to wonder where you are Too late to hold you in my arms Because if your looking for wonderful I'm wonderful I'm a very simple girl And I don't fit into this world The city lights leave me in a daze And even though we've never met You know that I'm trying to forget Somethings you can't change Is it too late to call you on the phone Too late to tell you I'm alone I want to wake you from another lonely night Too late to wonder where you are Too late to hold you in my arms Because if you're looking for wonderful I'm wonderful I'm underneath Underneath I'm underneath I'm underneath Is it too late to call you on the phone Too late to tell you I'm alone I want to wake you from another lonely night Too late to wonder where you are Too late to hold you in my arms Because if you're looking for wonderful Is it too late to call you on the phone Too late to tell you I'm alone I want to wake you from another lonely night Too late to wonder where you are Too late to hold you in my arms Because if you're looking for wonderful I'm wonderful
