Lyrics
Take another breath. Take another step. Just try to move. Try to make a sound. Try to turn around, before it all comes crashing down. I may be bruised, but I'm not broken, though it all goes unspoken. It's more than you, and it's more than me. So why can't I make you see that?
I can't carry the world. I can't carry the world. I can't bear it all. And I can't take the fall...again.
One step forward for two steps back. Why does it seem like I'm always on the wrong track? I don't know what to do, and I get too scared to move. So that's why I turn to you. I may be weary. I might stumble and fall. But I doubt you'd even notice at all. But don't get me wrong, I can get by on my own. I just hope I'm not too far gone...
I can't carry the world. I can't carry the world. I can't bear it all. And I can't take the fall.
Just remember when you look at me, there's a fine line between what really is and what you see. You don't know me. You don't know me.
I can't carry the world. I can't carry the world. I can't bear it all. And I can't take the fall...
I can't carry the world. I can't carry the world. I can't bear it all. And I can't take the fall.
I can't carry the world. I can't carry the world. I can't bear it all. And I can't take the fall...again. Never again...never again.
