lyrics

I can feel the world on my shoulders
And even though my heart broke a while ago
It still weighs me down
People say I sound a little older this year
But they don't know I
Never really felt that young
So darling let me stay
In your arms
Ease my mind for awhile
I was never really one for words
I just left it to the mockingbird
And you can hear the crush(?)
Of our bones
Lighter(?) when we're dancing, chance(?)
Taking my word for now
Going unheard for now and I
Feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
My heart weighs me down
And they say I sound a little older
Maybe I was never that young
Oh, I
Feel the weight of the world on my shoulders
And love let's me down
So darling let me stay
In your arms
Ease my mind for awhile
I was never really one for words
I just left it to the mockingbird
I just left it to the mockingbird
