“The Weight of the World”
Heart Lines, Album No. 4, 2020

(Verse 1)
I see the shadows dancing in your eyes,
Like a storm rolling in from a heavy sky.
You’re holding it all, the weight of the flame,
But every crack in the armor whispers my name.

I feel the echoes, the ghosts of your fight,
The burden’s so heavy, it bends the light.
You don’t need to fall, but let me break through,
I’ll carry the weight if you let me too.

​

(Chorus)
I’d carry the weight of the world for you,
If it’s too much, I’ll bear it too.
Through the thunder and the pouring rain,
I’ll take the hurt, I’ll share the pain.
I’d carry the weight of the world for you,
But don’t let it bury the love we knew.

​

(Verse 2)
The air’s electric, the tension’s tight,
Like a fuse burning low on a fireless night.
You lean on me, but it cuts me deep,
A love too wild for the chains we keep.

You stand so tall, like a god on the edge,
But the ground is crumbling beneath the ledge.
I’m not asking for surrender, just a little reprieve,
A moment to breathe, to let us believe.

​

(Chorus)
I’d carry the weight of the world for you,
If it’s too much, I’ll bear it too.
Through the thunder and the pouring rain,
I’ll take the hurt, I’ll share the pain.
I’d carry the weight of the world for you,
But don’t let it bury the love we knew.

​

(Bridge)
The walls are shaking, the night’s alive,
But the cracks in the mirror keep us just shy.
Let me in, let me break the fall,
We can rise from the ashes, take it all.

​

(Chorus)
I’d carry the weight of the world for you,
If it’s too much, I’ll bear it too.
Through the fire and the rushing flood,
We’ll burn through the fear, rise from the mud.
I’d carry the weight of the world for you,
But don’t let it bury the love we knew.

(Outro)
So take my hand, feel the steel in my veins,
We’ll outrun the darkness, outrun the pain.
Together we’ll climb, through the storm and the flood,
The weight of the world can’t drown our love.
