The Weight

There's many who'll tell you they'll give you their love When they say give, they mean take They hang around just like vultures 'till push comes to shove And take flight when the earth starts to shake Someone may say that they'll always be true, then slip out the door before the dawn But I won't leave you hanging on Another may stay 'till they find someone new, then before you know they'll be gone But I won't leave you hanging on No, I won't Won't be that someone And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side I won't run away though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight Some talk of destiny, others of fate, soon they'll be saying goodbye But I won't leave you high and dry 'Cause a ring don't mean nothing if you can't haul the weight and some of them won't even try But I won't leave you high and dry No, I won't Leave you wondering why And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side I won't run away though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight Storms will surely come But true love is a choice you make and you are the one That I have set my heart to choose As long as I live, I swear I'll see this through Come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side I won't run away though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight And come what may, I won't abandon you or leave you behind Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side I won't run away though the storm's getting worse and there's no end in sight
