Lyrics
The Weight
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's many who'll tell you they'll give you their love
When they say give, they mean take
Hang round just like vultures 'til push comes to shove
And take flight when the earth starts to shake
Someone may say that they'll always be true, then slip out the door before the dawn
But I won't leave you hanging on
Another may stay 'til they find someone new, then before you know they'll be gone
But I won't leave you hanging on
No, I won't
Won't be that someone
And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side
I won't run away though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight
Some talk of destiny, others of fate, soon they'll be saying goodbye
But I won't leave you high and dry
'Cause a ring don't mean nothing if you can't haul the weight and some of them won't even try
But I won't leave you high and dry
No, I won't
Leave you wondering why
And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side
I won't run away though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight
Storms will surely come
But true love is a choice you make and you are the one
That I have set my heart to choose
As long as I live, I swear I'll see this through
Come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side
I won't run away though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight
And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side
I won't run away though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight
