About to break your back God only knows that you're human
A heavy load like that is gonna hold you back, it's gonna drag you down
I can see that you're hurting weighed down like a beast of burden
You know it just can't last, just can't
A heavy load like that is gonna hold you back, it's gonna drag you down
Got more pain than you can deal with but ask yourself how can this last
You know it just can't last, just can't
And what's so sad is you've decided to hide all your feelings
I know you have the weight of the world today it's on your back
If I could name it, if I could just explain it
If I could only help you, help you understand
So what are they trying to do then believe me, they don't understand
They thought they could use you, push you down and abuse you
That you have the weight of the world today it's on your back
You know it just can't last
