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...
