[Verse 1] Woke up chained to the thunder in my chest Shadows clawing harder with every breath I’m hauling ghosts in a rusted iron cage Every mile I fake it, the heavier the rage Streetlights bleed out like they’re giving up the fight I keep telling the dark that I’ll win tonight [Pre-Chorus] But the longer I shoulder it, the deeper it cuts Bones cracking under what I swore I could trust [Chorus] We were never meant to carry this alone The weight gets heavier, turning heart into stone My strength runs out, yeah it always runs dry But His strength never quits — it’ll never say goodbye Lay it down, lay it down — at the cross, at the cross Carry no more… carry no more! [Verse 2] Built my fortress out of reasons, pride, and steel Now the walls are closing in, I can barely feel Everybody sees the smile, nobody sees the war I’m bleeding on the inside while I’m kicking down the door Every promise to myself just turns to smoke and rust The more I fight alone, the more I turn to dust [Pre-Chorus] ‘Cause the longer I hold it, the darker it screams Like dragging tomorrow through the wreckage of my dreams [Chorus] We were never meant to carry this alone The weight gets heavier, turning heart into stone My strength runs out, yeah it always runs dry But His strength never quits — it’ll never say goodbye Lay it down, lay it down — at the cross, at the cross Carry no more… carry no more! [Bridge] I hit my knees… felt the whole sky crack wide Laid these burdens where the old me died The storm that used to break me learned how to bow Now I’m leaning on a strength that the grave couldn’t hold down I’m done pretending… done pretending… [Chorus] We were never meant to carry this alone The weight gets heavier, turning heart into stone My strength runs out, yeah it always runs dry But His strength never quits — it’ll never say goodbye Lay it down, lay it down — at the cross, at the cross Carry no more… carry no more! Carry no more… (whoa-oh) Carry no more!
