I wish you wouldn't try
To carry it all on your shoulders
I wish you'd lay it down
And let the world fall over
Cause it's a world of hurt out there
And I wish that I could pick up everything you've got
Send it off to some far land and act like I forgot
I want to fill your world
With everything that's beautiful and
I want to spend the nights
Dancing til we can't stand
Like there's no world of hurt out there
I want to see you fly
When the weight comes off your shoulders
I want to hear you sing
When you stop rolling that boulder
And forget the world of hurt out there
But without the thunder and the rain
The flowers never bloom
Without pain we can't know love,
Without love we can't know pain
So even if I can't
Take the weight off your shoulders
Let me hold your hand
And keep us moving forward
Forget the world of hurt out there
