  • It's like, chasing shadows
    I never seem to win
    Just when I'm over you
    I feel myself falling again
    No hope of grace,
    I'm loosing faith
    All I can do is pray...

    Can you hear me
    Can you hear me ohh...
    Can you hear me

    Chorus:
    'cause it feels like the weight of the world
    Have the angels turned their back on me
    It feels like the weight of the world
    Can't let go of what we use to be
    And though my cries have gone unheard and I'm left on my knees
    It feels like the weight of the world
    'cause I still remember how it felt
    When you loved me... when you loved me oh...

    Verse:
    I got no rule to follow
    Left with no eyes to see
    No love to borrow,
    Since you left I can barely breathe
    In my lonely place and it can't be traced
    All I can do is pray...

    Can you hear me
    Can you hear me ohh
    Can you hear me

    Chorus:
    It feels like the weight of the world
    Have the angels turned their back on me
    It feels like the weight of the world
    Can't let go of what we use to be
    And though my cries have gone unheard and I'm left on my knees
    It feels like the weight of the world
    'cause I still remember how it felt
    When you loved me...
    When you loved me...

    Bridge:
    Love me again or set me free
    Love me again
    Love me again or set me free

    Chorus:
    It feels like the weight of the world
    Have the angels turned their back on me
    It feels like the weight of the world
    Can't let go of what we use to be
    And though my cries have gone unheard and I'm left on my knees
    It feels like the weight of the world
    'cause I still remember how it felt
    When you loved me...
    You loved me oh...
    Say you love me, again...
    When you love me...
