Lend me your shoulder when I’m tired
Without a word, hug me with your small arms

Baby, look at me straight in the eyes
So I can feel your warmth when we touch, lady

You carefully ask me how my day was
My eyes grow wide because you’re the first
I can’t believe how accurate you intuition is
You’ve noticed the shadow on my face

I can’t erase it though I try to hide it with a smile
But it hurts more as time goes by
I try to be a man and pretend it’s fine
But I end up not being honest with you

I’ve never learned how to lean on someone
But I learned one thing clearly, how to stand alone
Sometimes, I wanna ask you to lend me your shoulder too
In this marathon without a finish line

Whenever I want to quit
Quietly held me and comfort me
I want to ask you, if it’s not too much
I’ll lean on you for tonight, hold me

Lend me your shoulder when I’m tired
Without a word, hug me with your small arms

Let me tell you a story, the life of a kid
Los Angeles to Seoul, tryin to make it big
Without a clue in the world, fame and money on my mind
Knew nothing about the hardships, the struggles, the grind

Rewind to ‘011, flight overseas
New chapter in my life, time for me to chase my dreams
Culture shock, hit me hard, givin up was taboo but
The people, the language, the lifestyle; too much to go through

Blurred lines, couldn’t make up my mind
Thoughts like, “Damn. This just ain’t right.”
Overworked, underslept, oppressed, and possessed
I was against the odds, a vicious game of Russian roulette

Now I’m Standin on the stage gazing on to the crowd
They’re all chanting my name it seems so loud
I wanna take a bow and thank you all for comin out
For givin me a shoulder, that’s what L.O.Λ.E s about

Lend me your shoulder when I’m tired
Without a word, hug me with your small arms

No matter how strong and simple I am
When I need to cry, I need you

Even if I run out of breath and hold back tears
When it’s hard to handle, I need you

I want to lean on your shoulder and tell you my heart

Lend me your shoulder when I’m tired
Without a word, hug me with your small arms
