I CAN CARRY THIS

I took the weight off of my heart
and I put it on to my own shoulders and said,
I can take care of this myself. Yes, I can carry this myself.
First it was tearin' me apart,
then it was gone as I got bolder and said,
I can take care of this myself. Yes, I can carry this myself.
And, I'm on my way.

It's like that moment when you first realize
that everyone you know is hurting just as much as you,
and no one really knows just what to do.
Yeah they're just as messed up as you are.
Yeah, they're all just as f'd up as you are.
And, you will always be until you own it; at least as far as I can see.
Yeah, and when I say you, you, I mean me.
Yeah, and I guess you've always known it.

I can take care of this myself. Yes, I can carry this myself
and I'm just as messed up as you are. Yeah, I'm just as f'd up as you are.
And, I can take care of this myself. Yes, I can carry this myself,
and I'm just as messed up as you are. Yeah, I'm just as f'd up as you are.
And, I'm on my way.

And, now you're lookin' at me
like I'm just someone you used to know.
Well, I'm not just someone you used to know, babe. No.
I am someone you know now. Yes, I am someone you know now.
And, I've been tryin' to make this right
and burn through the darkness with this light.
It seems I can't hardly make a sound
stompin' my feet here on the ground.
Do you hear me? Do you see me? Can you hear me? Can you see me?
Do you hear me? Do you see me? Yeah, and when I say, you and me,
I mean, you and me. Yeah, and I guess you've always known it.

I can take care of this myself. Yes, I can carry this myself and I'm on my way.
