Weight Of The World

walking down the hall on a thursday

or was it tuesday I don't know

turn the corner 'for you reach homeroom

when you see another somebody

walkin' towards you

you don't know her

she don't know you

but you see it there

here comes a girl with the weight of the world

weighin' on her skinny shoulders

you don't know why

and you prob'ly never will

maybe she's the only thing holding together her family

maybe she's missing someone overseas

maybe she's just plain depressed

walking down the halls in her old-school dress

but she can't fix things on her own.
