Well I know I

Swear I know your face

I wish I knew your name

I wish I could take you by the hand

If I could name it, if I could just explain it

If I could only help you, help you understand



Well I can

I can see that you're hurting

Weighed down like a beast of burden about to break your back

God only knows that you're human

So what are they trying to do then?

Believe me, they don't understand

That you have the weight of the world today

It's on your back

A heavy load like that is gonna hold you back

It's gonna drag you down



You know it just can't last

It just can

You know it just can't last.



You know it just can't last

It just can

You know it just can't last.



Well they thought they could use you

Push you down and abuse you and what's so sad

Is you've decided to hide all your feelings

Got more pain than you can deal with but ask yourself, how can this last?



I know you have the weight of the world today

It's on your back

A heavy load like that is gonna hold you back

It's gonna drag you down



You know it just can't last

It just can

You know it just can't last.



You know it just can't last

It just can

You know it just can't last...
