[INTRO] (Rhodes, brushed drums, distant organ) I know you tired. I'm tired too. Maybe that's why we recognize each other. [VERSE 1] You came through the door With the whole world on your shoulders I could see it in your eyes Before you even told me You said, "Don't ask me questions." I said, "I wasn't gonna ask." We sat there in the quiet Like silence was a glass And somewhere in that moment I stopped trying to be right 'Cause sometimes loving somebody Means knowing when to let them hide [CHORUS] We all got something We don't know how to lay down A little piece of yesterday We keep dragging through this town You got your weight I got mine Maybe love ain't lifting it Maybe love is making room To carry it sometimes [VERSE 2] I know you got your reasons I know I got my scars We both learned how to build walls Before we learned who we are You learned to keep your money I learned to keep my heart You learned to leave before goodbye I learned to fall apart Funny how two broken people Can recognize the sound Of another person breathing When the whole room's shutting down [CHORUS] We all got something We don't know how to lay down A little piece of yesterday We keep dragging through this town You got your weight I got mine Maybe love ain't lifting it Maybe love is making room To carry it sometimes [BRIDGE] (drums almost disappear) I can't fix your history. You can't erase mine. I can't promise you forever. You can't promise me tomorrow. But... I can sit here. You can sit here. And for tonight... That's enough. (Hammond rises softly) [VERSE 3] There's a tenderness in weakness That pride will never know There's a kind of understanding That only comes when nothing's left to prove So put your head beside me Let the whole damn city spin We don't have to solve the world Before we let somebody in [FINAL CHORUS] We all got something We don't know how to lay down A little piece of yesterday We keep dragging through this town You got your weight I got mine Maybe love ain't lifting it Maybe love is simply saying... "You don't have to carry yours alone tonight." [OUTRO] (strings barely audible) You don't have to explain. I don't need to know. Just stay. (Rhodes rings out) For a little while. (silence)
