[Verse 1] When the crutch you used to walk with splinters into pieces When the beaten path has beat you down So hard that you still feel it [Pre-Chorus 1] When the burden's too heavy to carry alone I can take it off your shoulders Too heavy a burden to carry on your own You were there for me, I'm here for you [Chorus] Pain keeps changing hands Fate keeps changing plans What you cannot handle You know that I can Help me (help me) understand Let the pain change hands [Verse 2] I can handle you at your worst If it leads me to the better half I will find a way to put you first So both of us don't finish last [Pre-Chorus 2] When the burden's too heavy to carry alone Need someone in your corner Too heavy a burden to carry on your own You were there for me, I'm here for you [Chorus] Pain keeps changing hands Fate keeps changing plans What you cannot handle You know that I can Help me (help me) understand Let the pain change hands [Bridge] Who holds you now, who holds it all back? "What holds you down?" is what you wrote back And let it out, nothing to take back I feel you now I feel you now I feel you now I feel you now I feel you now [Chorus 2] Pain keeps changing hands Fate keeps changing plans What you cannot handle You know that I can [Chorus 3] Pain keeps changing hands (When the burden's too heavy to carry alone) Fate keeps changing plans For what I cannot handle, I know that you can (Too heavy a burden to carry on your own) Help me (help me) understand (When the burden's too heavy to carry alone) Let the pain change hands (Too heavy a burden to carry on your own) (You were there for me, I'm here for you)
