Lyrics: Alex S

Weight of the world. Why even bother?
Another night of staying in and hiding under the covers
And all my friends are waiting on me while I’m thinking it over (over again)
But stepping out into a sea of eyes that judge at the sight
I’ll just stay in my cottage again, just like every night (every night)
They say to come along, but they could be wrong
I’m terrified
I really wanna go, but already know
What happens then
It’s hard when feelin’ the weight of the world rest on my shouldеrs, cause it makes me feel oldеr and colder
Weight of the world, and I feel like a goner, and I wish I was stronger
Cause you know that I see you, and I wish I could be you
And cut out the parts of me being shy
It’s hard when feelin’ the weight of the world, so why even bother going out?
Go out and take a chance. Don’t worry 'bout what others are thinking
Those fears will only be a burden and leave you in them sinking (sinking again)
The voice in my head conflicting with my heart
Please tell me the answer
Should I put up a front and just be there for my friends?
I’ll be kind. I will find peace of mind
They say to come along and that I belong
But I’m terrified
I really wanna go, but already know
What happens then
It’s hard when feelin’ the weight of the world rest’ on my shoulders, cause it makes me feel older and colder
Weight of the world, and I feel like a goner, and I wish I was stronger
Cause you know that I see you, and I wish I could be you
And frankly I feel it all of the time
It’s hard when feelin’ the weight of the world, so why even bother going out?
C’mon, let’s get it. Light up the world tonight
Oh, let’s get it. Light up the world tonight
(Why even bother.) (They'll laugh at me.) (Voice in my head.) (Every night.) (I can't go out.) (Just be myself.)
Ok, fine!
It’s hard when feelin’ the weight of the world rest’ on my shoulders, cause it makes me feel older and colder
Weight of the world, and I seem like a goner, but I’m getting stronger
Cause you know that I see you, and I wish I could be you
But I’m still proud of the way that I am
It’s hard when feelin’ the weight of the world, but why even bother hiding in?
Why even bother?
