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
