The Weight

This song has really been on my heart lately. Even though I'm sure this song is simply a song from his heart about his relationship with his wife, I feel like Dustin is spot on in describing what a relationship motivated by true love really looks like.

Couples that love like this will have a long, successful relationship.

There’s many who’ll tell you they’ll give you their love, but when they say "give" they mean "take". They hang ‘round just like vultures 'til push comes to shove and take flight when the earth starts to shake.

Someone may say that they’ll always be true, then slip out the door ‘fore the dawn, but I won’t leave you hanging on.

Another may stay 'til they find someone new, then before you know they’ll be gone, but I won’t leave you hanging on.

No, I won’t won't be that someone.

And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind, because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.

Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side, I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight.

Some talk of destiny, others of fate, but soon they’ll be saying goodbye, but I won’t leave you high and dry.

'Cause a ring don’t mean nothing if you can’t hold the weight, and some of them won’t even try, but I won’t leave you high and dry.

I won’t leave you wondering why.

And come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind, because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.

Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side, I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight.

And storms will surely come,
But true love is a choice you must make and you are the one.
That I have set my heart to choose

As long as I live, I swear I’ll see this through.

Come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind,
Because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.
Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side,
I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and I see no end.

Come what may, I won’t abandon you or leave you behind, because love is a loyalty sworn, not a burning for a moment.

Come what may, I will be standing right here by your side, I won’t run away, though the storm’s getting worse and there’s no end in sight.
