When you look back and see the shadows,
you'll see me standing there too
Me and all your friends
prepared to help you through.
You've been carrying the weight
Of the world on your shoulders,
And it only gets worse
As you get older
The stress makes you itch and ache
Your hands are cold,
your lips they shake
But you carry on
As if nothing's wrong
Pretend you don't see the shadows tonight
You never thought were thin enough
You never thought you would carry through
You never thought that you were loved
Why can't you see that we need you.
We will help you carry
The weight of the world
Cause some things are too much
For one little girl
They can try to make us bend and break
But we will not fall
Lies will not take
We will carry on
As if nothing's wrong
Let's pretend we don't see the shadows tonight.
