Well I know I Swear I know your face I Wish I knew your name I Wish I could take you by the hand Well if I could name it If I could just explain it If I could only help you Help you understand Well I can look and see that you're hurting Beaten down like a beast of burden About to break your back God only knows that you're human So what are they trying to do then Believe me they don't understand That you have the weight Of the world today on your It's on your back Heavy load like that's Gonna hold you back Gonna drag you down You know it just can't last Just can't, you know it just can't last You know it just can't last Just can't, you know it just can't last Well they thought they could use you Push you down and abuse you And that's so sad Decided to hide all of your feelings Got more pain than you can deal with But ask yourself, how can this last? I know you have the weight Of the world today on your It's on your back A heavy load like that's Gonna hold you back Gonna, it's gonna drag you down You know it just can't last Just can't, you know it just can't last You know it just can't last Just can't, you know it just can't last
