Lyrics
How do you live your life burdened with all this tragedy? You still leave on the light thinking he'll be home like all those times before. You're too strong to say you could use a helping hand in times like these. I'll carry the weight and keep you light on your feet. Just don't fly away. How do you stand upright with the weight of 10 worlds on your back? How do you make the night knowing that no one else is home? You're too strong to say you could use a helping hand in times like these. I'll carry the weight and keep you light on your feet. Just don't fly away. We are down and out. You're searching for answers that weren't meant to be found. Unveiling disasters that follow you around. Allow me to lead you just this one time dear. Until you're strong enough, until the ghosts are clear. You're too strong to say you could use a helping hand in times like these. I'll carry the weight and keep you light on your feet. Just don't fly away.
