Weight of a man

This could be heavy,
not as easy,as it seems.
Quite tough to carry,
a lot more inside,that no-one has seen.

But you lying there,
you're not one bit scared,
to shoulder,
a burden like me.

chorus

So don't close your eyes,
turn your face to the skies,
and breath me as deep as you can.
Your strong heart won't break,
are you ready to take,
the weight of a man.

I'm so hard to handle,
my life's a suitcase that's never been closed.
Don't know how you stand me,
oh how you love me,
god only knows.

There's ghosts and there's witches,
there's black eyes and stitches.
They come with me,
it's part of the show.

chorus

Don't close your eyes,
turn your face to the skies,
and breath me as deep as you can.
Your strong heart won't break,
are you ready to take,
the weight of a man.
the weight of a man.

suspended on air,
because you're lying there.
you shift me slightly and find inspiration.
Cause those witches and ghosts,
play some havoc with their host,
you make me lighter,
you're my salvation.

This could be heavy,
not as easy as it seems.
Quite tough to carry,
a lot more inside,
that no-one has seen.

But you lying there,
you're not one bit scared.
To shoulder,
a burden like me.

chorus

So don't close your eyes,
turn your face to the skies.
And breath me,
as deep as you can.
Your strong heart won't break,
are you ready to take,
the weight of a man.
