Welcome to the life of every man who carries the burden of his family with him. We carry our wife, for she "breaks and she bends". Our children laugh and ridicule us. We are told not to break, not to cry, not to say the load is too heavy. We add more and more weight to our backs, knowing that the load will never lighten. Then, some time later, when it seems that it has become to much, you look around for someone to talk to, some way to share the load, or at least receive some support, and you notice that no one is there.
it is a song about never being enough for what you think you need to be, and those who depend on you want you to carry just one more thing. It is not about giving up, but about taking on the extra because no one else will, even if it breaks you.
