I've got a story to tell to you
You've got a tale you need to tell me too
Days go by and we sit here and talk about the things that matter least
Our mouths smile with happiness but we both know that it's to hide what's underneath
And though we've been down the hardest road we've yet traveled
At least we weren't travelling alone
Time ticks by and we're still a little broken
But together we can lighten this load
You look at me and you know my heart
For though I'm smiling, you know I'm torn apart
In your arms I cry like I've never let a tear fall before
And through these sobs I find self expression and I'm not alone anymore
And though we've been down the hardest road we've yet traveled
At least we weren't travelling alone
Time ticks by and we're still a little broken
But together we can lighten this load
Lighten this load
Lighten this load
Cos there might be darkness but there's also light
And I know that being both it what is right
For we're cinders and shadows but we're also the sun
And it's when we deny this that we come undone
And though we've been down the hardest road we've yet traveled
At least we weren't travelling alone
Time ticks by and we're still a little broken
But together we can lighten this load
Time ticks by and we're still a little broken
But together we can lighten this load
Lighten this load
Lighten this load
