Heard you comin' in the backdoor at 3 a.m.
You spent the night in the hospital sittin' next to your best friend
Woke up three hours later just to go downtown
I've known you long enough to see it's starting to wear you 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 killin' me the way you carryin' on so
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 risin')
Feel the pressure buildin' up inside you
Don't know what to do, don't know what to do
(Feel the pressure risin')
It's too much for one person to hold
Or to hold on to
Whoa, 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
Whoa, it ain't your load to bear
(Don't put the world on your shoulders)
Don't put the world on your shoulders
(Don't put the world on your shoulder)
Baby, 'cause it ain't your load to bear
(Don't put the world on your shoulder)
Don't put the world on your shoulders, baby
(Don't put the world on your shoulders, hey)
(Don't put the world on your shoulders, na na na na)
(Don't put the world on your shoulders)
