Share The Weight

[Verse 1]

I don't know what to say to make it better

Would you like the company? Should I stay?

I know it's hard not to share the messenger

When she's free to walk away

[Verse 2]

Leave work alone in the rain

Wearing your pain like a coat I can't shake

Loneliness likes soap till my tongue

I'd write a book if my hands weren't numb

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm everyone else's crutch

My brother, my mother, my job

When I'm tired at the end of the day

I dream about somebody who could stay

And share the weight

[Verse 3]

Yeah, I opened as soon as I looked up

I trusted all my secrets to a stranger in a park

He said, "It's okay if you're letting people down"

The sun will rise, the world will still go round"

[Chorus]

If you're everyone else's crutch

There's nothing left to hold you up

When you're tired at the end of the day

Know you'll find somebody who will stay

[Outro]

And take the weight off your shoulders

For a while

And while we wait, let me hold you

For a while
