about

Dedicated to and featuring Rebekah Wright

lyrics

Sometimes I don't know what to say
But the world is crazy, it's always been that way
Sometimes I don't know how to try
When I see so much hurt painted in your eyes

The world has a way of beating you down
The world has a way of beating you down
You got in a rut and you can't get out
The world has a way of beating you down

What if you could take this weight
If you could restart this day
And put it on me, put it on me
What if in this world of dread
You can't even hold up your head
Could you put it on me, put it on me

Sometimes I feel so alone
I know this world is crazy and it's my home
Sometimes I feel so stuck, I wanna find a way to give up
But I still believe in a hope

It's just the world has a way of beating me down
The world has a way of beating me down
Sometimes I put up walls to keep love out
The world has a way of beating me down
What if...

What if I could take this weight
If I could restart this day
And put it on you, put on you
What if in this world of dread
I can't even hold up my head
Could I put on you, put it on you

All and all
Heart and soul
Put it on me, put it on me, love
Everything, joy and pain
Put it on me, put it on me

The world has a way of beating us down
The world has a way of beating us down
The world has a way of beating us down
But nothing could be stronger than the love we found

What if you could take this weight
If you could restart this day
Put it on me
What if in this world of dread
You can't even hold up your head
You can put it on me, put it on me

(Every now and then when you break apart)
All and all
(Call me and I'll run right to where you are)
Heart and soul
(Take your heavy burdens and let them fall)
You can put it on me, put it on me, love
(When the thief takes everything you know)
Everything
(Your heart is heavy, but you've got a ways to go)
Joy and pain
(You can lean on my love)
You can put it on me, put it on me
