The Weight

There's many who'll tell you they'll give you their love
When they say give, they mean take
They hang around just like vultures 'till 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 'till 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
