Natalie Merchant - Just Can't Last lyrics

Well I know I

Swear I know your face I

Wish I knew your name I

Wish I could take you by the hand

Well if I could name it

If I could just explain it

If I could only help you

Help you understand

Well I can look an dsee that you're hurting

Beaten down like a beast of burden

About to break your back

God only knows that you're human

So what are they trying to do then

Believe me they don't understand

That you have the weight

Of the world today on your

It's on your back

Heavy load like that's

Gonna hold you back

Gonna drag you down

You know it just can't last

Just can't, you know it just can't last

You know it just can't last

Just can't, you know it just can't last

Well they thought they could use you

Push you down and abuse you

And that's so sad

Decided to hide all of your feelings

Got more pain than you can deal with

But ask yourself, how can this last?

I know you have the weight

Of the world today on your

It's on your back

A heavy load like that's

Gonna hold you back

Gonna, it's gonna drag you down

You know it just can't last

Just can't, you know it just can't last

You know it just can't last

Just can't, you know it just can't last
