I swear I know your face, I wish I knew your name, I wish I could take you by the hand. If I could name it, If I could just explain it. If I could only help you, help you understand.
Well I can see that you´re hurting, weighed down like a beast of burden, about to break your back. God only knows that you´re human, so what are they trying to do then? Believe me, they don´t understand that you have the weight of the world today. It´s on your, on your back. A heavy load like that is gonna hold you back. It´s gonna drag you down. You know it just can´t last, just can´t, you know it just can´t last.
Well, they thought they could use you, push you down and abuse yo and what´s so sad is you´ve decided to hide all your feelings, got more pain than you can deal with but ask yourself, how can this last?
I know you have the weight of the world today. It´s on your, on your back. A heavy load like that is gonna hold you back. It´s gonna drag you down. You know it just can´t last, just can´t, you know it just can´t last.
