Thrice - The Weight lyrics

rate me

There’s many who’ll tell you they’ll give you their love,<br />

But when they say “give” they mean “take.”<br />

They’ll hang ‘round just like vultures till push comes to shove.<br />

They’ll take flight when the earth starts to shake.<br />

<br />

Someone may say that they’ll always be true,<br />

Then slip out the door ‘fore the dawn.<br />

But I won’t leave you hanging on.<br />

Another may stay till they find someone new,<br />

Then before you know they’ll be gone.<br />

But I won’t leave you hanging on;<br />

No, I won’t be that someone.<br />

<br />

And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind<br />

Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.<br />

And come what may, I will be standing right here by your side;<br />

I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight.<br />

<br />

Some talk of destiny, others of fate,<br />

But soon they’ll be saying goodbye.<br />

But I won’t leave you high and dry.<br />

Because a ring don’t mean nothing<br />

If you can’t haul the weight,<br />

And some of them won’t even try,<br />

But I won’t leave you high and dry;<br />

I won’t leave you wondering why. <br />

<br />

And storms will surely come,<br />

But true love is a choice you must make<br />

And you’re the one that I have set my heart to choose.<br />

As long as I live, I swear I’ll see this through.

<br />
