Not Your Cross To Bear

If Jesus took three nails you must've taken four I've never seen anyone who felt so put upon before I know life ain't easy and I know yours ain't been fair Let it go it's not your cross to bear Well your dad lived with the bottle so you thought you'd do the same Carry on the family tradition by livin' a life that's full of pain But that's not a destiny that you have to share Let it go it's not your cross to bear Chorus I know I've never had to walk in your shoes And I could bite my tongue and keep this to myself Maybe it's not my place to tell you what to do But I care too much to watch you hurt yourself So take the weight that's on your shoulders for this life and the next And give it to the father the one who knows you best He'll take your burden that's why he's hangin' there Let it go it's not your cross to bear Leave the past behind it's not your cross to bear
