Who Put The Weight Of The World On My Shoulders

Who put the weight of the world on my shoulders?
Who put the lies in the truth that you sold us?
Lost behind a silver screen
are all the things you could've been to us
So don't try to fuck up my head with your problems
I'm just tryin' to fix up my bed in the doldrums
Lost behind a silver screen
are all the things you could've been in Love and Life soooooo
Help me out my friend
My head just started to hurt
I won't pretend
I've got all of the time in the world so
So now she's gone
all alone in her own universe
I still walk on
'Til I hold you within my world
So help me out my friend
My head just started to hurt
I won't pretend
I've got all of the time in the world so
So now she's gone
all alone in her own universe
I still walk on
'Til I hold you within my world
Who put the weight of the world on my shoulders?
Who put the lies in the truth that you sold us?
Who put the lies in the truth that you sold us?
Lost behind a silver screen
are all the things you could've been to us
So don't try to fuck up my head with your problems
I'm just tryin' to fix up my bed in the doldrums
Lost behind a silver screen
are all the things you could've been in Love and Life soooooo
Help me out my friend
My head just started to hurt
I won't pretend
I've got all of the time in the world so
So now she's gone
all alone in her own universe
I still walk on
'Til I hold you within my world
So help me out my friend
My head just started to hurt
I won't pretend
I've got all of the time in the world so
So now she's gone
all alone in her own universe
I still walk on
'Til I hold you within my world
Who put the weight of the world on my shoulders?
Who put the lies in the truth that you sold us?
