Carry My Weight for You
Michael Rossback Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What if tomorrow, this love that I borrowed.
Fails me again.
Well I'm here to stay.
What if I faulter.
My heart's on the alter.
But you'd never know.
You would never know
I'd carry my weight for you.
There is nothing I wouldn't do.
To spend all my life with you.
Now love has a name.
It's turning to fiction with every conviction.
I'm losing my hold...
Of what I know.
This love that I've bartered
Is making it harder.
To let you know.
I'd carry my weight for you.
There is nothing I wouldn't do.
To spend all my life on you.
Come down, from all the things that you believe.
Pardon the ways of who I used to be.
Come down, from all the things that you believe.
And pardon the ways of who I used to be.
There's thing I wouldn't do.
I'm spending my live on you.
I'd carry my weight for you.
And It's gonna have on you.
There's nothing I wouldn't do...
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
