《The Weight Of The World》歌词

[00:00:38] It could be your southern drawl

[00:00:41] Or how you limp when you walk

[00:00:43] That makes

[00:00:45] Me want to say

[00:00:48] All those things I never could

[00:00:50] A school boy crush carved into wood

[00:00:52] That fades

[00:00:55] In the rain

[00:00:58] You were born in a baptist house

[00:01:00] With a rusty spoon inside your mouth

[00:01:02] The taste

[00:01:04] Didn't go away

[00:01:07] And when the sun comes peaking out

[00:01:09] You work until it goes back down

[00:01:12] The days

[00:01:14] Are all the same

[00:01:17] With a baby boy strapped to your hip

[00:01:19] And a tiny cut above your lip

[00:01:21] That states

[00:01:23] God doesn't save

[00:01:26] Everyone who buys his book

[00:01:28] Some of us Get overlooked

[00:01:31] In a way

[00:01:33] It's a shame

[00:01:36] But you still walk in his light

[00:01:38] And say the same words every night

[00:01:40] I pray the lord my soul to keep

[00:01:43] But what about the rest of me

[00:01:45] My faith

[00:01:49] Can't take the weight

[00:01:56] The summers came and left like fall

[00:01:58] Ten thankless years of working hard

[00:02:00] The school bell rings the kids come home

[00:02:03] But you still feel like you're alone

[00:02:05] Because your husband holds his whiskey glass

[00:02:08] Tighter than a hero's past

[00:02:10] You rip those black beads off your throat

[00:02:12] And swap them out for a knotted rope

[00:02:15] The end

[00:02:18] Is your only friend

[00:02:25] You use that final rush of blood

[00:02:27] To say the things you never could

[00:02:29] I pray the lord that you will see

[00:02:31] In my eyes bulge out and my body swing

[00:02:34] Because I now I finally understand

[00:02:36] That jesus is like every man

[00:02:39] He tells you want you want to hear

[00:02:41] Until you fall in love and he disappears

[00:02:44] My faith

[00:02:47] Couldn't take the weight

[00:02:53] When the weight of the world

[00:02:55] Falls square on your shoulders

[00:02:57] A pin prick or missed call

[00:03:00] Can somehow destroy you

[00:03:03] We all are victims of warped expectations

[00:03:08] When people can't save us we suddenly hate them

[00:03:12] So much

[00:03:15] In fact

[00:03:17] That we lose our grasp

[00:03:19] On reality the responsibility

[00:03:24] That we have to ourselves

[00:03:29] And everybody else

[00:03:32] When the weight of the world falls square on your shoulders

[00:03:36] A pin prick or missed call can somehow destroy you

[00:03:41] We all are victims of warped expectations

[00:03:46] When people can't save us

[00:03:48] We suddenly hate them
