Lifting
(click on title to play track)

This heavy feeling
Is nothing that I want to share

I have my reasons
It’s not that I think you won’t care
I must bear the lifting

 I won't lean on your shoulder
No other should carry the pain
Cause I hold the burden
Your shoulders won’t lessen the weight that I’m lifting

When my heart is as heavy as stone
I get tired of acting so strong
Sometimes it’s so hard to go on but I do my own lifting
 I must bear the lifting

When my heart is as heavy as stone
I grow weary from acting so strong
Sometimes it’s so hard to go on but I do my own lifting

 This heavy feeling
Is nothing that I want to share
I will bear the lifting
I must bear the lifting
