Okay song number 2,
This one's called World on My Shoulders. It's about the trepidation and guilt people feel when they want to break up, and the relief that some of them get when they tell the other person. One of my good friend's had a situation like this which gave me the seed for the lyrics.
2. World on My Shoulders
Now look at me walking,
All alone down the road,
Nobody is talking,
They all just watch and stare,
But little do they know,
I am no longer there,
The World's on my shoulders,
And the pain that it gives me,
Has made her much colder,
Those throwaway glances,
They all want to hate me,
When I've done nothing wrong,
Little shots of hatred,
That unthinking venom,
Would I be better dead?
My innocence fading,
Got no where to run now,
My life a dark shading,
The World's on my shoulders,
Bearing down on my soul,
I'm leaving I told her,
I tell her I want out,
She no longer listen's,
She just stand's there and shouts,
I'm free from her clutches,
The end of those cold looks,
And in sincere touches,
The World's off my shoulders,
I can walk out alright,
And leave the shame on her,
