Text: Sophie B. Hawkins. Bare The Weight of Me.

Oh I never knew
I was unkind 'til I met you
So how can I believe
You will suffer with me?
If I should ask you to

Bare the weight of me
Bottom, belly, legs, chest, hands, feet, face of me
Stare into space because of me

Dare to let nobody take the place of me
Why has it been so long?
I long to be the one
You have a handle on

For I never cared to be led
Beyond my despair and how
Strange to now see crumbs of deceit
Following me, so how can you

Bare the weight of me
Bottom, belly, legs, chest, hands, feet, face of me
Stare into space because of me

Dare to let nobody take the place of me
Why has it been so long?
I long to be the one
You have a handle on
