You tell me that you're alright,
You'll be fine in a little while.
You turn away, dry your eyes,
Look back at me and try to smile.
But I see the lie behind the mask,
That look in your eyes that tells me
It's better not to ask.
And I know that inside you're hurting,
However strong you claim you are.
As this endless world keeps turning,
You hide it all inside your heart.
And I wish I could tell you
How you've stolen mine, but it's not the time.
So I'll stay by your side, without a word,
And help you carry the weight of the world.
You know that there are days,
When I wish I couldn't read you so well.
Because to live in blissful ignorance,
Would save me from this hell
Of knowing just what's on your mind,
And that I can never save you,
No matter how I try,
'Cause I know that inside you're hurting,
However strong you claim you are.
As this endless world keeps turning,
You hide it all inside your heart,
And I wish I could tell you
How you've stolen mine, but it's not the time.
So I'll stay by your side, without a word,
And help you carry the weight of the world.
Maybe someday, when your duty's done,
And your mind's been put to rest,
I will tell you just how you amaze me, but until then,
I know that I can stand this test.
But I know that inside you're hurting,
However strong you claim you are.
As this endless world keeps turning,
You hide it all inside your heart,
And I wish I could tell you
How you've stolen mine but it's not the time.
So I'll stay by your side, without a word,
And help you carry the weight of the world.
