I couldn't tell 

The weight of the world 

was on your shoulders 

Couldn't tell you were unhappy, 

you were unwell 

I go along like nothing is wrong 

no need to worry 

Too late to feel sorrow 

upon borrowed time 

Then now there's no answers 

no easy way out 

take it all if you want 

take it all if you want 



if you know how to run 

Sweet Virginia, you should run 

if you know how to play 

Sweet Virginia, you should play 

if you know how to say 

Sweet Virginia, you should say 

if you know how to be 

be without me, you should be 

you should be 



I couldn't see 

it seems I don't learn or get the message 

don't know you you carry it all by yourself 

How can it be 

it doesn't belong, it's so not funny 

this vintage of violence again on parade 

and now there's no wonder 

no shelter from shame 

be alone if you want 

be alone if you want 



if you know how to run 

Sweet Virginia, you should run 

if you know how to play 

Sweet Virginia, you should play 

if you know how to say 

Sweet Virginia, you should say 

if you know how to be 

be without me, you should be 

you should be
