I hear your hollow laughter...
Your size of secret pain...
Pretending and inventing...
Just to hide your shame...
Plastic smiles and faces...
Blinking back the tears...
Empty friends and places...
All magnify your fears...
If you're tired and weary,
Weak and heavy laden-
I can understand how...
It feels to be alone.
I will take your burden,
If you let me love you.
I'll wrap my arms around you,
And give your heart a home.
It hurts to watch you struggle...
And try so hard to win...
But trade your precious birthright...
For candy-coated sin...
Wasting precious moments...
Restless and confused...
Building up defenses...
For fear that you'll be used...
If you're tired and weary,
Weak and heavy laden-
I can understand how...
It feels to be alone.
I will take your burden,
If you let me love you.
I'll wrap my arms around you,
And give your heart a home.
...Take my yoke upon you...
Walk here by my side...
Let me heal your heartache...
And dry the tears you've cried...
Never will I leave you...
Never turn away...
I'll keep you through the darkness...
And lead you through the day...
If you're tired and weary,
Weak and heavy laden-
I can understand how...
It feels to be alone.
I will take your burden,
If you let me love you.
I'll wrap my arms around you,
And give your heart a home.
...I'll wrap my arms around you,
And give your heart a home.

This song communicates what I want to say to my future wife as well as anything I know.
