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      And 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      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
