Heard you coming in the backdoor at 3am
You spent the night in the hospital sitting next to your best friend
Woke up
Three hours later
Just to go downtown
I've known you long enough to see us on the way you're down

Don't put the world on your shoulders
'Cause you know
It ain't your load to bear

I asked you how you'd be worse and you muster up a smile
I wish you'd take a minute for yourself once and a while
You got a bigger heart than anyone that I have ever known
That you got to see, it's killing me the way you care me on

Don't put the world on your shoulders
'Cause you know
It ain't your load to bear
Don't put the world on your shoulders
'Cause you know
It ain't your load to bear alone

Feel the pressure building up inside you
Don't know what to do
Don't know what to do
(Feel the pressure rising)
It's too much for one person to hold
What to hold on to?

Ooh
Don't put the world on your shoulders
'Cause you know
It ain't your load to bear alone
Don't put the world on your shoulders, baby
Oh, it ain't your load to bear

Don't put the world on your shoulders
(Don't put the world on your shoulder)
Baby 'cause it ain't you load to bear
(Don't put the world on your shoulder)
Don't put the world on your shoulders
(Don't put the world on your shoulder, hey)
(Don't put the world on your shoulder, na na, na na)
(Don't put the world on your shoulder, hey)
