[Verse 1]
I can feel the world on my shoulders
And even though my heart broke a while ago
It still weighs me down
People say I sound a little older this year
But they don't know I never really felt that young

[Chorus]
So, darling, let me stay in your arms
Ease my mind for a while
I was never really one for words
I just left it to the mockingbirds

[Verse 2]
And you can hear the crush of our bones
Louder when we're dancing chance
Taking my word for now
Going unheard of now that I
Feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
My heart weighs me down
And they say I sound a little older
Maybe I was never that young, oh, I
Feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
And love lets me know

[Chorus]
So, darling, let me stay in your arms
Ease my mind for a while
I was never really one for words
I just left it to the mockingbirds (I just left it to the mockingbirds)
(I just left it to the mockingbirds)
(I just left it to the mockingbirds)
