Can't Live With The World Lyrics

You can't live with the world
On your shoulders
Your shoulders

Take my hand and you'll see
Love will find us
Will find us

You've been lost in a dark place
A long time
A long time

Now I found you
I'll stay here and hold you

I'll stay here
I'll hold you til morning
I'll hold you tight

You can't live with the world
On your shoulders
Your shoulders

Come to me
Say goodbye to your struggle

I'll stay here
I'll hold you til morning
I'll hold you

I'll stay here
I'll hold you til morning
I'll hold you tight

Remember how far you've come
From the start til the end depend on me

You can't live with the world on your shoulders

I'll stay here
I'll hold you til morning
I'll hold you

I'll stay here
I'll hold you til morning
I'll hold you tight

You can't live with the world on your shoulders
You can't live with the world on your shoulders

Stay til the morning come
Stay til the morning come
Hold you til the morning light
Hold you til the morning light

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
