A continent of doubt weights heavy on mind
How long can my brittle bones bend
Before they yield and snap?

I don't wanna know, 'cos I'm so scared
It's not gonna get easier than this
Because it's too much to bear my darling
The weight of the world
And I would carry it for you
But please don't ask me to because the
Weight of the world is a burden I can't bear
Is a burden I can't bear

Maybe it's gravity, that pulls her to my chest
Not the fear that she is the source of what little strength I've got left

I don't wanna know, 'cos I'm so scared
It's not gonna get easier than this
Because it's too much to bear my darling, the weight of the world
I would carry it for you
But please don't ask me to because the
Weight of the world is a burden I can't bear

My horizon lies a jagged line
Oh I can clearly see
The mountains that I've yet to climb
I'll get there if it kills me

Because its too much to bear my darling
The weight of the world
And I would carry it for you
But please don't ask me to because the
Weight of the world is a burden I cant bear
Is a burden I cant bear
And I would carry it for you
But please don't ask me to
Because the
Weight of the world
Is a burden I can't bear
