Weight off my shoulders
Let me take some weight off your shoulders
That's what she says to me one day
Let me take some weight off your shoulders she said
I think if she could
Take the stress away with the lifting of a pinky
Leave me light and carefree
I don't know if she could handle it
Could she handle the aches and pains my young body suffers
The sore muscles and cramps from a sport I no longer love
Continuing on in hopes of a scholarship
In hopes that I will be seeked out
To take me to a school
To continue my aches my cramps my pains this heavy weight on my back
Could she take on that weight
Let me take some weight off your shoulders she said
I have a schedule so tight and there's no room for mistakes
Rushing to each class to be the first one there
The best one there
The only one there
Eyes burning after hours of homework
Up to see the day break
Could she take on that weight
Let me take some weight off your shoulders she said
Im expected to have friends
Assumed that I have extra time to spend
Time where my eyes don't burn and my pains don't follow me
Where Im light and carefree
Yet i'm bogged down by this weight on my shoulders
Left alone with it to carry
Could she take on that weight
I looked her in the eyes
After she asked to take the weight from my shoulders
Laughing at the thought of her taking on my weight
And told her that it's no use
To take any weight off my shoulders
