The weight

There´s many who´ll tell you they´ll give you their love,
But when they say "give" they mean "take".
They hang ‘round just like vultures ´til push comes to shove
And take flight when the earth starts to shake.
Someone may say that they´ll always be true
Then slip out the door ‘fore the dawn,
But I won´t leave you hanging on.
Another may stay ´til they find someone new
Then before you know they´ll be gone,
But I won´t leave you hanging on.
No, I won´t won´t be that someone.
And come what may, I won´t abandon you or leave you behind,
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side,
I won´t run away, though the storm´s getting worse and there´s no end in sight.
Some talk of destiny, others of fate,
But soon they´ll be saying goodbye,
But I won´t leave you high and dry.
´Cause a ring don´t mean nothing if you can´t haul the weight
And some of them won´t even try,
But I won´t leave you high and dry.
I won´t leave you wondering why.
And come what may, I won´t abandon you or leave you behind,
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side,
I won´t run away, though the storm´s getting worse and there´s no end in sight.
And storms will surely come,
But true love is a choice you must make and you are the one.
That I have set my heart to choose
As long as I live, I swear I´ll see this through.
Come what may, I won´t abandon you or leave you behind,
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side,
I won´t run away, though the storm´s getting worse and I see no end.
Come what may, I won´t abandon you or leave you behind,
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side,
I won´t run away, though the storm´s getting worse and there´s no end in sight.
But when they say "give" they mean "take".
They hang ‘round just like vultures ´til push comes to shove
And take flight when the earth starts to shake.

Then slip out the door ‘fore the dawn,
But I won´t leave you hanging on.
Another may stay ´til they find someone new
Then before you know they´ll be gone,
But I won´t leave you hanging on.
No, I won´t won´t be that someone.
And come what may, I won´t abandon you or leave you behind,
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
