Weight of Tomorrow

(oooh-oooh,

mmm-mmm)

I packed the bags and drove away

Left the shadows where they stay

You think I ran and broke your heart

Took the blame right from the start

But I would rather play the foe

Than let you carry what I know (mmm-mmm)

I've tried everything to mend the broken glass

Waiting for the storm to pass But the truth is locked behind

a silent wall

To keep you safe from the fall

Oh, my babies, you are still my only light!

I would take the blame to save you from the night

One day when you're older,

I will tell you why

Why I had to leave without a real goodbye (I'll tell you

why)

They told me I must heal and find my way

But there are things I cannot say

His words are heavy,

keeping me apart But you're the beat

inside my heart

I see a little morning sun break through But time is short

to get back to you (so short)

I've tried everything to mend the broken glass

Waiting for the storm to pass But the truth is locked behind

a silent wall

To keep you safe from the fall

Oh, my babies...

did you think I let you go?

(no, no)

I took the blame...

so you would never know

My time is running thin,

the light is growing cold

I'll hold the truth...

until you are old
