Intro:
Verso 1:
Well I know 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
Verso 2:
Well I can
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
Pré-refrão:
That you have the weight of the world today
It s 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
It just can
You know it just can t last.
You know it just can t last
It just can
You know it just can t last.
Verso 3:
Well they thought they could use you
Push you down and abuse you 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?
Pré-refrão:
I know you have the weight of the world today
It s 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 (4x)
