Maybe you don't know me
any more than I know you
and I wouldn't blame you
if you walked away
I've been watching you all evening
with the tear drops in your eyes
and it touches me much more than I can say
and though I hate to think that someone
could've hurt someone like you
and if I was him I'd be right by your side

Lay your troubles on my shoulder
put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

Saw you in the corner
on the moment I walked in
saw your lonly face
acrossed the room
no I won't forget
and the way it might have been
why did you have to leave so soon

You know I hate to think that someone
could've loved you more than me
and at times like this
I'd be right by your side

Lay your troubles on my shoulder
put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile

How long must I wait
for the fast train to be here
and the last chance to close
get to think that i was born too soon
How long honey
when nothin don't come
I was there when you bled
just didn't know how to begin

Lay your troubles on my shoulder
put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
Lay your troubles on my shoulder
put your worries in my pocket
Rest your love on me awhile
