Fast asleep
She's next to me
Her heart, it beats
So steadily
Her hopes and fears
And all her dreams
She puts in me
So trustingly

The weight of love is more than all the world
Requiring a strength I can't provide
But gravity, love strangely may defy
If only I was not so terrified

I've seen her smile
I've made her cry
I've been embraced
I've been denied
All these things
A symptom of
A stumbling towards a perfect love

The weight of love is more than all the world
Requiring a strength I can't provide
But gravity, love strangely may defy
If only I was not so terrified

These doubts that are arising
They've become so paralyzing
Am I what she wants
Am I what she needs
Or am I just a letdown she can't see

My burning heart
Oh how it yearns
To be intrigued
At every turn
I've tried so hard
To walk the line
But nothing keeps me satisfied

The weight of love is more than all the world
Requiring a strength I can't provide
But gravity, love strangely may defy
If only I was not so terrified
