[Verse 1]

I can feel the world on my shoulders

And even though my heart broke a while ago

It still weighs me down

People say I sound a little older this year

But they don't know I never really felt that young

[Chorus]

So, darling, let me stay in your arms

Ease my mind for a while

I was never really one for words

I just left it to the mockingbirds

[Verse 2]

And you can hear the crush of our bones

Louder when we're dancing chance

Taking my word for now

Going unheard of now that I

Feel the weight of the world on my shoulders

My heart weighs me down

And they say I sound a little older

Maybe I was never that young, oh, I

Feel the weight of the world on my shoulders

And love lets me know

[Chorus]

So, darling, let me stay in your arms

Ease my mind for a while

I was never really one for words

I just left it to the mockingbirds (I just left it to the mockingbirds)

(I just left it to the mockingbirds)

(I just left it to the mockingbirds)
