Feels like the weight of the world Like God in heaven gave me a turn Don't cling to me, I swear I can't fix you Still in the dark, can you fix me? Freefall, freefall, all through life If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I used to be She's nothing to me Feels like the weight of the world Like all my screaming has gone unheard And oh, I know you don't believe in me Safe in the dark, how can you see? Freefall, freefall, all through life If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I used to be If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I was If you love me, then let go of me I won't be held down by who I used to be

I cry for your heart of stone I'm going up to your room, come home Oh why am I all alone? I'm as good as dead, yeah Ooh, I lost my sense of passion and direction To protect myself from hurting and despair Listen to my heart, my soul is aching Fool or saint? 'Cause you went and left me and you so upset me I can't believe that you would ever find it easy To walk away as if you'd never really cared Did you expect that I'd give in and beg for mercy Out in the gutter? Out in the gutter? I cry for your heart of stone I'm going up to your room, come home Oh why am I all alone? I'm as good as dead, yeah Ooh, I look back on the first night with affection And if you had a heart, you'd remember too The way we used to run around like little children Fool or saint? My Mother told me: you'd be no good for me I cry for your heart of stone I'm going up to your room, come home Oh why am I all alone? I'm as good as dead, yeah Listen to my heart, my soul is aching Out in the gutter I've got to break that heart of stone I cry for your heart of stone I'm going up to your room, come home Oh why am I all alone? I'm as good as dead, yeah I cry for your heart of stone I'm going up to your room, come home Oh why am I all alone? I'm as good as dead, yeah I cry for your heart of stone I'm going up to your room, come home Oh why am I all alone? I'm as good as dead, yeah

Maybe your daddy never held you like he should Maybe your mama just held on the best she could Ev'ry soul has a secret Give it away or keep it But yesterday's gone so tell me why You carry the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' you down on your back like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl Get it off of your shoulder I know you've been used But you gotta lose the weight of the world Maybe i haven't always been there just for you Maybe i try but then i got my own life too Ev'ry heart has a hunger I'm not getting any younger I got all the crosses i can bear Don't gimme the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' me down on my back like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl Get it off of my shoulder You know i've been used And i gotta lose the weight of the world It all comes down to who you crucify You either kiss the future or the past goodbye We could fly so high But we carry the weight, the weight of the world It's breakin' us down on our backs like a boulder Before it's too late, get rid of it, girl Get it off of our shoulders We've all been used And we gotta lose the weight of the world It's takin' us down and the night's growin' colder Just blame it on fate, that was yesterday, girl And we're just growin' older We've all been abused Now it's time to lose the weight of the world The weight of the world The weight of the world
