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)
