[Verse 1]
I started out with no path in mind
I was young to the world
How was I to know better?
I started out with no path in mind
Free to make all mistakes
Gotta bleed to get better, and

[Pre-Chorus]
I will not wait this life out
I will not carry the weight of the world
I will not wait, this starts now
I will not carry the weight of the world

Carry the weight of the world

[Verse 2]
I've got to carry your burning heart
Like a siren it screams, telling me to keep running
I've got to carry your burning heart
It's so heavy to hold, but it's all that I've ever known

[Pre-Chorus]
I will not wait this life out
I will not carry the weight of the world
I will not wait, this starts now
I will not carry the weight of the world
[Chorus]
I won't, I will not
I won't carry the weight of the world
I won't, I will not
I won't carry the weight of the world

[Bridge]
This could be all that we needed
A chance to be part of the fight
Yeah, this could be all that we needed
We stay to the end, we remember tonight
This could be all that we needed
A chance to be part of the fight
Yeah, this could be all that we needed
We stayed to the end, we remembered tonight

(Carry the weight, carry the weight of the world)
(Carry the weight, carry the weight of the world)

[Chorus]
I won't, I will not
I won't carry the weight of the world
I won't, I will not
I won't carry the weight of the world

[Outro]
Carry the weight of the world
Carry the weight of the world
