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
