The Weight

I am just a man
I am only one man and I am doing the best I can

I am insecure
Oh forsure, I get so insecure
I abandon every single plan

There was a means to an end
Forsure, there was even a friend
And that same friend went and left you behind

And they say it gets better with time
But the ticking of that clock shows no correlation to the quiet of my mind

And what I'm saying
One day
Maybe we can get together
One day
Maybe it'd get a little better
One day
Who knows I'll give you a call
Sometime in the summer or the early fall
One day
Maybe you'll find another lover
One day
You might be perfect for each other
One day
We both have something to lose
We're holding on to nothing baby whats the use

Let's just take all the weight off our shoulders
Let's just take all the weight off our shoulders
It's what I told her
Before we get much older

I don't try to hide
All the things I keep inside
They're written on my face

And I can be a bit of a jerk
And I know that actions speak louder than words
But I'm starting to feel it's a waste

You got your diamond ring
In my eyes girl you got everything
That you said you could ever need

And I don't believe in G-d
No I only believe in the time we've got
So I guess that I'd better leave

And what I'm saying
One day
Maybe we can get together
One day
Maybe it'd get a little better
One day
Who knows I'll give you a call
Sometime in the summer or the early fall
One day
Maybe you'll find another lover
One day
You might be perfect for each other
One day
We both have something to lose
But we're holding on to nothing baby whats the use

Let's just take all the weight off our shoulders
Let's just take all the weight off our shoulders
It's what I told her

You see life
It goes on
But not for too long
And your voice
It lingers on
In every song I sing
And your smell
Rests pure
Upon my pillow
But it ain't right
And that's alright

Let's just take all the weight off our shoulders
Let's just take all the weight off our shoulders
It's what I told her
Before we get much older
Before we get much older

I am just a man
I am only one man and I am doing the best I can
