it’s like a weapon how you cut me down to size, try not to smile when you
throw everything on my front lawn, so much for self perception

tell me one thing baby
do you see your shadow walking beside you with the palms trees high above your head

you stand so tall with the weight of the world on your shoulders
dont let them break you i’ll never let them break through...i’ll never tell them that
you stand so tall with the weight of the world on your shoulders
space out thinking why i try so hard to fit these circles into squares

won’t let success go to your head
like that drink that made you sink into this hole you call yourself and when the tables turn

tell me one thing baby
do you see your shadow walking beside you with the palms trees high above your head

you stand so tall with the weight of the world on your shoulders
dont let them break you, i’ll never let them break through...i’ll never tell them that
you stand so tall with the weight of the world on your shoulders
space out thinking why i try so hard to fit these circles into squares

write me off of your short list, of the trophy boys and pedestals they sat you up on
honey whats the word on the street you got me so wide open i’m willing and i’m hopin’ you know
write me off of your short list, of the trophy boys and pedestals they sat you up on
don’t spill your secrets to me

you stand so tall with the weight of the world on your shoulders
dont let them break you, i’ll never let them break through...i’ll never tell them that
you stand so tall with the weight of the world on your shoulders
space out thinking why i try so hard to fit these circles into squares

you stand so tall
don’t let them break you
the only one you can trust
don’t spill your secrets to me
