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
