There is a girl who carries the weight of the world
High upon her shoulders
She tries to make it, mostly to fix it, afraid someone will see her
This tragedy she calls life, she smiles with every stride
She's always afraid

But what can you do, when all you can be is truly you
Can't be anybody other than you
Won't be anything but confused
Can't be anybody, won't be anything, can't be anybody else

'Cause you'll call me crazy, a drunk or a baby
And I'll take the beating, it's worth it if I can stand next to you
I'll live in your shadows, carry you as far as you need to go
I'm your best friend, I am your lover
I'm sorry if I act like another
But no matter how hard I try, I can't reach the other side
This wall never seems to crumble, it never crumbles
So accept all my faults, I've had a hard time
Not exactly blessed with imperfections, but I'll give up all that is mine for you
